Results The majority of studies demonstrated RE as an effective and safe intervention to improve muscular strength and performance , fatigue and quality of life ( QoL ) in PCaPs , while there is inconclusive evidence concerning cardiovascular performance , body composition , blood lipids , bone mineral density ( BMD ) , and immune response .
Purpose Physical exercise has been shown to be an effective , safe , and quite inexpensive method to reduce cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors and is currently in the process of establishing its relevance for cancer specific morbidity and mortality .
The aim of this systematic review was to focus on specific effects of resistance exercise ( RE ) in the adjuvant therapy and rehabilitation of prostate cancer patients ( PCaPs ) receiving or having received and rogen deprivation therapy ( ADT ) .

Effects of strength training on physical function : influence of power , strength , and body composition . J Strength Cond Res 23(9 ) : 2627 - 2637 , 2009-The purpose of this study was to determine ( a ) the effects of strength training ( ST ) on physical function and ( b ) the influence of strength , power , muscle volume ( MV ) , and body composition on physical function . Healthy , inactive adults ( n = 50 ) aged 65 years and older underwent strength , power , total body composition ( % fat and fat free mass [ FFM ] ) , and physical function testing before and after 22 weeks of ST . Physical function testing consisted of tasks design ed to mimic common physical activities of daily living ( ADL ) . To improve internal validity of the assessment of mid-thigh intermuscular fat , subcutaneous fat , and knee extensors MV , a 10-week unilateral ST program using the untrained leg as an internal control preceded 12 weeks of whole-body ST . Strength , power , and FFM increased significantly with ST ( all p < 0.05 ) , whereas rapid walk , 5 chair st and s , and get up and go time decreased significantly with ST in the overall group ( all p < 0.05 ) . Women improved significantly in both walking test times ( both p < 0.05 ) but not in the stair climb test , whereas men improved in the stair climb test ( p < 0.05 ) but not in walking test times . Multiple regression analysis revealed the highest R2 ( 0.28 ) for the change in chair st and s time , followed by stair climb and usual walk at 0.27 and 0.21 , respectively . ST improves performance in functional tasks important for ADLs . Changes in strength , power , and FFM are predictors of ST-induced improvements in these tasks
