The Ndjavera conducted a randomized controlled trial in which 24 patients who were recently diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) and were commencing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) completed 60 min of supervised aerobic and resistance training twice per week for 3 months, followed by 3 months of unsupervised training, and according to the results of the trial, there were improvements in health-related quality of life among PCa patients after participating in the training, and exercise was found to mitigate ADT-induced cardiovascular toxicity. Based on the outcome of a recent review study conducted by Cormie and Zopf, a supervised integrated moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic, resistance, and impact exercise was effective in improving neuromuscular performance, bone health, cognitive performance, physical health, mental health, and cardiopulmonary fitness among PCa patients undergoing ADT. They also found that supervised exercise training overseen by an expert led to weight loss, decrease in cancer-related fatigue, improvements in sexual function, and health-related quality of life among PCa patients undergoing ADT.
