SPORT-MUResistance Training Program for Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy

This study is exploring the impact of a structured exercise program on men with prostate cancer who are undergoing a common treatment called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Prostate cancer patients often experience side effects from ADT that affect their physical and mental well-being. This research aims to find out if a 24-week exercise program can help improve these patients' physical strength, daily functioning, and overall mood. By comparing two different types of exercise routines, the study hopes to discover which one is more beneficial, potentially leading to better care and quality of life for these patients. Participants in this study are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group follows a supervised resistance training program, while the other does exercises at home with guidance given during the first session and regular phone check-ins. Evaluations occur at the start, halfway through, and at the end of the 24 weeks to see how the exercise affects physical, functional, and emotional health. This setup allows researchers to measure both the immediate and lasting effects of the exercise programs, offering insights into which approach might be more effective for men undergoing ADT.
