RESUMO
Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that leads to tremor, slowness, muscle stiffness, and other movement disorders. The benefits of exercise for reducing disability in individuals with Parkinson's disease are numerous. However, not much is known about the designing and prescription of exercise in neurodegenerative diseases. A brief review and indications for exercise prescription and evaluation are discussed throughout. In this scoping review, we specifically aimed to describe the applicability of walking tests (6-min/10-m) for the prescription of exercise in individuals with Parkinson's disease and to propose training (undulating periodized) designs in three exercise modalities, Brazilian dance rhythms (Samba and Forró), deep-water exercises, and Nordic walking. These training models and evaluation methods may assist coaches and therapists in organizing exercise programs adequate to people with Parkinson's disease, and are essential steps toward a comprehensive and more detailed understanding of the training loads in motor disorders and disease states.

RESUMO
Casi no se conoce la influencia de la danza sobre el desarrollo morfológico y antropométrico de niñas que la practican. Así, el objetivo de este estudio es obtener y realizar comparaciones entre el somatotipo de niñas-bailarinas pertenecientes a la ciudad de Porto Alegre (RS), Brasil, y de la ciudad de Córdoba (CO), España, practicantes de ballet clásico y danza española, intentando establecer un paralelismo entre estas dos poblaciones, comparando y relacionando los datos obtenidos. Fueron evaluadas 110 niñas-bailarinas: 60 cordobesas, estudiantes del Conservatorio de Danza de Córdoba, España, y 50 porto-alegrenses, estudiantes de academias de ballet clásico de la ciudad de Porto Alegre, Brasil. Intentando atender a los objetivos del estudio, la recogida de datos fue desarrollada por abordaje transversal. Además de las variables de identificación del individuo, de las variables edad cronológica y nacionalidad, el presente estudio comprende las informaciones antropométricas referentes al somatotipo, mediante la medida de varios bloques de parámetros antropométricos, siguiendo las indicaciones del protocolo de la ISAK. El somatotipo fue calculado según el método de Heath-Carter. Para el tratamiento estadístico de los datos se utilizó la estadística descriptiva y el Test t de Student (p<0.05). Los resultados sugieren el predominio del componente mesomórfico en el somatotipo de los dos grupos estudiados, determinando el predominio de la masa muscular. Todavía, no hubo diferencias significativas entre las niñas-bailarinas cordobesas y las porto-alegrenses en el somatotipo
Not much is known about the influence of dance in the morphological and anthropometrical development of young dancers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to obtain and compare the somatotype of two groups: one group of classical ballet dancers, from Porto Alegre, Brazil, and the other group including spanish dancers and classical ballet dancers, from Cordoba, Spain, trying to draw a parallel between these two groups, comparing and relating the data. We evaluated 110 young female dancers: 60 from Cordoba Conservatory of Dance, Cordoba, Spain, and 50 from private dance schools in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Trying to reach the objectives of the study, data collection was developed by a cross-sectional study. In addition to the individual identification variables, age variable and nationality, this study measured anthropometric variables, based on the ISAK protocol, and calculated the somatotype according to the Heath-Carter method. Descriptive statistical methodology and the "Student t test" was used to analyze and compare the data. The two groups present the dominance of the mesomorphic component, determining the prevalence of muscle mass. Regarding the somatotype no significant statistical differences were found between spanish and brazilian young female dancers
