Power training (PT) is a potential approach that may improve endurance and muscular power, essential for maintaining functional ability in PD.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To compare the effect of PT versus control or other physical activity (PA) interventions on physical functional performance (PFP) in PD patients.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, PEDro, Cochrane Library, and Scopus.
