co
28 Up and Go (TUG). We compared self-reported regular exercisers (2.5 hours/week) with people who did not exercise
29 2.5 hours/week. Then we quantified changes in HRQL and mobility associated with 30-minute increases in exercise, across
30 PD severity, using mixed effects regression models.
31 Results: Participants with three observational study visits (n = 3408) were younger, with milder PD, than participants with
32 fewer visits. After 2 years, consistent exercisers and people who started to exercise regularly after their baseline visit

33 had smaller declines in HRQL and mobility than non-exercisers (p < 0.05). Non-exercisers worsened by 1.37 points on the
34 PDQ-39 and a 0.47 seconds on the TUG per year. Increasing exercise by 30 minutes/week was associated with slower declines
35 in HRQL (0.16 points) and mobility (0.04 sec). The benefit of exercise on HRQL was greater in advanced PD (0.41 points)
36 than mild PD (0.14 points; p < 0.02).
37 Conclusions: Consistently exercising and starting regular exercise after baseline were associated with small but significant
38 positive effects on HRQL and mobility changes over two years. The greater association of exercise with HRQL in advanced
39 PD supports improving encouragement and facilitation of exercise in advanced PD.
