Introduction: Resistance Training (RT) or strength training increases muscle strength and reduces motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Objective: To investigate the effects of RT on muscle strength, functional performance, and quality of life in PD patients. Methodology: A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 15 PD patients, aged 64.27 ± 7 years, divided into Control Group (CG), n=6, and Resistance Training Group (RTG), n=9. CG did not engage in exercise. RTG underwent individualized RT for 8 weeks, consisting of 6 exercises, 2 sets of 10 repetitions with a load of 60% to 80% of 10RM (maximum repetitions), and a 2-minute rest interval. The assessments included 10RM muscle strength tests for bench press and leg press, functional performance using the Time Up and Go (TUG) test, and quality of life assessed with the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39). Data analysis employed Chi-square, Student's t-test, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon test using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS, 23.0) with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The groups were similar before the intervention. After 8 weeks, there was a significant difference between CG and RTG, respectively, in bench press muscle strength: (25.83 ± 8.61 kg) (43.33 ± 15.6 kg), p=0.03; leg press: (40.83 ± 25.58 kg) (97.22 ± 16.22 kg), p<0.001; TUG: (12.70 ± 3.42 seconds) (6.94 ± 1.01 seconds), p<0.001; and PDQ-39 score: (41.88 ± 16.70) (18.09 ± 6.78), p=0.02. After 8 weeks, CG experienced a significant decline (p>0.05) in quality of life. However, RTG showed a significant increase (p>0.05) in muscle strength, functionality, and quality of life. Conclusion: RT increased the muscle strength of upper and lower limbs, improved functional performance, and enhanced the quality of life of PD patients.
