Summary

This study tests whether adding social support to group exercise helps older men (65+) with prostate cancer feel less lonely and improve their mental and physical health. 150 men will be assigned to one of three 6-month programs: socially-enhanced group exercise, standard group exercise, or home-based exercise. Researchers will measure cancer-related loneliness, general loneliness, and overall well-being at the start, 3 months, and 6 months.
