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 ) .
A randomized trial of aerobic versus resistance exercise in prostate cancer survivors.
And rogen-deprivation therapy ( ADT ) for prostate cancer ( PCa ) has side effects that significantly impair health-related quality of life ( HRQOL ) . Exercise ameliorates many side effects of ADT , but different modalities , particularly in the home-based setting , have not been well studied . In this study the authors r and omly assigned 66 PCa survivors receiving ADT to 6 mo of home-based aerobic or resistance training .  Psychosocial well-being and physical fitness were measured at baseline , 3 and 6 mo , and then 6 mo postintervention . Intention-to-treat analyses showed that fatigue and HRQOL were not significantly different between groups ; however , in a per- protocol analysis the resistance-exercise training group demonstrated clinical ly significant improvements in HRQOL . Differential within-group effects on physical fitness were also observed at various time points . At all time points , the aerobic-training group engaged in significantly more physical activity than the resistance-training group , a finding that should be further examined given evidence -based guidelines for activity volume in cancer survivors
