Shame the trial isn’t in the UK. Wondered if the 30mins for the higher intensity group was walking or running. I do 7 - 10 hrs per week of mixed exercise. The types that help my tremor most are tai chi (low intensity), boxing(high intensity) and walking for more than 1 1/2 hrs (endurance based mid intensity).
Thanks for your comment. Sounds like you've got a great routine--keep it up! Our understanding is that in this trial, the treadmill is used to whatever speed is necessary for a participant to reach the heart rate maximum of the group a participant is assigned to. For some people, walking would be intense enough activity to reach the goal.
I still do steadily push on with pieces of the gear needed to allow myself the most freedom of movement and chance of less damaging injury in the random attacks of dystonia, or the surprise joint slipping out of place. I sort of carry my own ⛑ first aid station with me. 😂 It also adds resistance , and weight. ✨it's sort of the only way I can get things done, but I do benefit from it being my main transportation. Definitely am outside a lot.
Glad to hear you get outside a lot! Here's an article about the benefits of green spaces for people living with neurological conditions: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2799727

I have been an ultra athlete for 25+ years and do believe that it helps
