Exercise in Men Receiving Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Effects on Fatigue, Toxicity, Body Composition, Muscular Fitness, Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Quality of Life.
A total of 220 men with a diagnosis of prostate cancer, scheduled to receive radiation will
be recruited. The study is a parallel 3-group design with groups stratified for intended
duration of ADT ( greater or less than 12 weeks) and random assignment to aerobic,
resistance or Wait List control groups. The dependent variable of interest will fatigue
measured at 24 weeks by the 13 item FACT-Fatigue. Dependent variables of secondary interest
will be toxicity of radiation, body composition, muscular fitness, cardio-respiratory
fitness, metabolic fitness, and prostate specific QOL. All exercise sessions will be
performed 3 times per week at the Ottawa Hospital regional Cancer Center
