First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week, drug-free exercise program can help men with metastatic prostate cancer who are starting hormone therapy. The program includes supervised sessions of aerobic, resistance, balance, and flexibility exercises. The main goal is to see if patients can stick with the program, and to check if it reduces side effects like muscle weakness, fatigue, and falls.
