Adding kicking variations to the boxing may provide additional benefit to improve balance. However, the benefits and adherence to such trainings is unknown. Objective: To explore the feasibility, safety, and benefits on balance of boxing training combined with kicking techniques in comparison to boxing without kicking in PD. Methods: Participants were randomized to group-based boxing training with kicking techniques (BK) or to group-based boxing alone training (BO). Both groups trained for one hour, once a week, for a period of 10 weeks. Participants were assessed at baseline and ten weeks post-intervention for difference in balance, fear of falling, balance confidence, walking ability, and quality of life. Results: Twenty-nine people with PD (median age 64 years; median disease duration 5 years) participated. Both interventions were feasible and acceptable for all participants. No adverse events occurred. Most participants (BK 80%; BO 75%) were satisfied with the training. We found no significant between group difference on either the primary (Mini-BEST) or secondary outcomes. The within group comparison showed that balance improved in both groups after the intervention (BK 22.60 (2.7) to 25.33 (2.64) p\u200a=\u200a0.02; BO 23.09 (3.44) to 25.80 (2.39); p\u200a=\u200a0.01 on the Mini BEST test). Conclusion: Both types of boxing seem to be feasible and safe. Adding kicking techniques to boxing does not improve balance significantly more than boxing alone. Incorporation of kicking may be a valuable addition to the exercise therapy repertoire.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jpd-223447","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,14]],"date-time":"2022-10-14T11:40:28Z","timestamp":1665747628000},"page":"2585-2593","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Boxing with and without Kicking Techniques for People with Parkinson\u2019s Disease: An Explorative Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Josefa","family":"Domingos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Radboud University Medical Center, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Department of Neurology, Center of Expertise for Parkinson and Movement Disorders, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Grupo de Patologia M\u00e9dica, Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o e Exerc\u00edcio Cl\u00ednico (PaMNEC) do Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Interdisciplinar Egas Moniz (CiiEM), Monte de Caparica, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Ligia Silva","family":"de Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radboud University Medical Center, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Department of Neurology, Center of Expertise for Parkinson and Movement Disorders, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tessa","family":"Steenbakkers-van der Pol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radboud University Medical Center, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Department of Neurology, Center of Expertise for Parkinson and Movement Disorders, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catarina","family":"Godinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Patologia M\u00e9dica, Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o e Exerc\u00edcio Cl\u00ednico (PaMNEC) do Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Interdisciplinar Egas Moniz (CiiEM), Monte de Caparica, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bastiaan R.","family":"Bloem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radboud University Medical Center, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Department of Neurology, Center of Expertise for Parkinson and Movement Disorders, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nienke M.","family":"de Vries","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radboud University Medical Center, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Department of Neurology, Center of Expertise for Parkinson and Movement Disorders, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/JPD-223447_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parkreldis.2009.12.011","article-title":"Reduced muscle power is associated with slower walking velocity and falls in people with Parkinson\u2019s disease","volume":"16","author":"Allen","year":"2010","journal-title":"Parkinsonism Relat Disord"},{"key":"10.3233\/JPD-223447_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1007\/s40263-012-0012-3","article-title":"Postural instability in patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease.
