NCT04485767

Brief Summary

The overall goal of this study is to determine if implementing structured exercises prevent decline in muscle mass, muscle strength and physical function in men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Our main hypothesis is that structured resistance exercise training in men undergoing ADT will preserve physical function assessed by loaded stair climbing power compared with the control group. The trial will also examine the efficacy of the exercise regimen on muscle strength, QOL and fatigue. The findings of this trial will lay the groundwork for definitive intervention trials to prevent frailty and falls in these men.
