Philly Rabbit Run: 5K
and 1 Mile Walk

First, I wish to disclose a conflict of interest in
promoting this event. Shake It Off, Inc.
has been a generous supporter of our research program in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Delaware. With your
support and their support, we have been able to grow our research program on
the topic of exercise prescription for people with Parkinson’s disease. Your donations support personnel
for our experimental exercise programs, laboratory equipment, and student
travel to conferences where we present our work. We have published two studies on the benefits of our ‘SpeedGeezer’ program in which we use high speed
bicycling intervals to re-train the brain for faster physical function. The first study supports the safety of the exercise program and we found that just one session of exercise can improve two measures of mobility. The second study (accepted and In press) demonstrated that the six-week SpeedGeezer program can improve many measures of mobility by about 15%.
Help us do more! We typically have eight people participating in our exercise
programs at any time and we want to be able to do more. We want to be able to train more people and test more symptoms. So, I would love the amazing people at Shake
It Off, Inc. to see a strong UD presence at the Philly Rabbit Run as racers, walkers,
volunteers and donors. I have created a team called: BlueHens-SpeedGeezer. Please race or donate with us!
