Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Written informed consent will be required prior to any testing or randomisation. Assignments will be placed in sealed opaque envelopes and designated colours will be assigned for each group. The subject will open these envelopes after completion of all baseline testing. Subjects who dropout prior to completion of baseline testing will not be randomised.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Subjects are randomised after the baseline assessment has been completed to: 1. Exercise training or 2. Usual care control. Randomisation is at the level of the individual patient, and will be stratified by treatment status and location of metastases. The list will be generated and maintained by a research assistant not otherwise involved in the study. The sequential treatment assignments are based on a computer-generated randomisation scheme (by using the Web site www.randomization.com set up by Dr Gerard E. Dallal).
Masking / blinding

Other design features
Different groups of participants receive different interventions during the same time span of the study, however the usual care group receive the intervention during after 3 months of usual treatment.

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of a tailored exercise program in prostate cancer patients with bone metastases.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are a man with prostate cancer with diagnosed bone metastases.

Trial details.
Participants in this trial will be randomly (by chance) allocated to one of two groups. One group will undergo supervised exercise training. This involves resistance, aerobic (stationary cycling) and flexibility exercises, three times per week over a period of 3 months and then will be monitored (without training) for a further 3 months. The other group will be assigned to no treatment for the first 3 months. After this time participants in this group will commence the exercise program for the next 3 months.

Participants will complete some tests of physical function and questionnaires about fatigue, pain and physical activity levels, and have their body composition measured at these time points. It is thought that the exercise program will be safe and will improve physical function when compared to no training.
