There ae no randomized clinical trials that demonstrate the benefit of regular aerobic exercise in delaying the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) nor in the decrease in the risk of development of dementia.However the Mayo Clinic has published an excellent review of the literature regarding the beneficial effect of exercise on various brain areas and functions. See here.
Quoting the authors : "This aggregate literature provides a compelling argument for regular aerobic exercise and cardiovascular fitness attenuating PD progression."
