Résumé

Those with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer typically receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as part of their treatment. ADT often results in extensive side effects including increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. Many ADT side effects can be influenced by exercise, both resistance and aerobic training. Exercise regimes typically combine aerobic and resistance exercise but the appropriate emphasis for achieving the broadest range of therapeutic benefits has yet to be determined. We propose to determine the feasibility of undertaking a larger trial comparing a resistance- vs an aerobic-emphasised exercise intervention in men with prostate cancer undergoing ADT. The trial will also investigate preliminary evidence of difference between arms for cardiometabolic health and quality of life outcomes. This is a 6-month randomised two-armed feasibility trial. Prostate cancer patients undergoing ADT and radiotherapy will be recruited (n = 24) and randomised to either a resistance- or aerobic-emphasised group. Participants will attend twice-weekly supervised individual or small group sessions, with 75% of exercise time in the primary exercise modality. The primary outcome will be feasibility, determined via assessment of recruitment, retention, adherence, safety, and acceptability. Secondary outcomes will include quality of life, body composition, vascular indices, aerobic and muscular fitness and cardiometabolic health blood biomarkers. It is envisaged that the trial will provide valuable information and preliminary difference data that will aid in the design of an efficacious larger trial that will adopt a major and minor emphasis approach to the scheduling of resistance and aerobic exercise.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Those with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer typically receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as part of their treatment. ADT often results in extensive side effects including increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. Many ADT side effects can be influenced by exercise, both resistance and aerobic training. Exercise regimes typically combine aerobic and resistance exercise but the appropriate emphasis for achieving the broadest range of therapeutic benefits has yet to be determined. We propose to determine the feasibility of undertaking a larger trial comparing a resistance- vs an aerobic-emphasised exercise intervention in men with prostate cancer undergoing ADT. The trial will also investigate preliminary evidence of difference between arms for cardiometabolic health and quality of life outcomes.
METHODS METHODS
This is a 6-month randomised two-armed feasibility trial. Prostate cancer patients undergoing ADT and radiotherapy will be recruited (n = 24) and randomised to either a resistance- or aerobic-emphasised group. Participants will attend twice-weekly supervised individual or small group sessions, with 75% of exercise time in the primary exercise modality. The primary outcome will be feasibility, determined via assessment of recruitment, retention, adherence, safety, and acceptability. Secondary outcomes will include quality of life, body composition, vascular indices, aerobic and muscular fitness and cardiometabolic health blood biomarkers.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
It is envisaged that the trial will provide valuable information and preliminary difference data that will aid in the design of an efficacious larger trial that will adopt a major and minor emphasis approach to the scheduling of resistance and aerobic exercise.
