- Original description
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two parallel study arms evaluated the effectiveness of a 24-week exercise intervention in prostate cancer (PCa) patients under-going androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Ethical approval was obtained from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the University Clinical Hospital "Virgen de la Arrixaca" (Murcia, Spain). Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) a supervised progressive resistance training program (SPoRT-PCa-ADT), or (2) a control group receiving a home-based exercise protocol following an initial assessment, accom-panied by weekly telephone follow-up. Assessments were conducted at baseline and at 24 weeks to examine changes in physical, functional, and psychosocial outcomes. Addi-tionally, patient-reported outcomes were collected at the 12-week midpoint (Figure 1). This study design enabled the evaluation of both immediate and sustained intervention effects and facilitated a direct comparison between supervised and home-based exercise approachesRead full original descriptionShow less
