Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intervention: Tailored exercise program run by exercise physiologists

Description:
- Supervised by exercise physiologists
- Mode of delivery is face-to-face
- 3x 30 minute one-on-one sessions (over 1-2 week period)
- Followed by weekly group training sessions for 14 weeks, 1 hour each
- Also home-based exercises in-between sessions (30 minutes daily; patient to keep diary to monitor adherence)
- Combination of resistance and aerobic exercises will be utilised in the individual, group and home-based program, including use of body weight, resistance bands and free weights to target major muscle groups
- Target intensity is low-moderate intensity
- Intervention is tailored to each individual based on exercise physiologist assessment, including weights used, number of repetitions and sets, and target intensity, to improve safety and adherence
- Pre- and post-intervention assessment consultations with exercise physiologist, 45 minutes each
- Location: local health and fitness centre

Summary
Brief summary
This study is assessing the impact of an exercise program on quality of life and physical function in prostate cancer patients being treated with hormone therapy.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you have biopsy proven prostate cancer and are currently on hormone therapy i.e. androgen deprivation therapy.

Study details
All participants will undertake an exercise program consisting of 3 one-on-one sessions with an exercise physiologist, followed by 14 weeks of group training and home-based exercises. Participants will answer a number of questionnaires, perform a number of physical function tests, and have their body composition assessed using a body composition scan.

It is hoped this study will demonstrate the effectiveness of exercise in improving patient quality of life and daily function, particularly in patients from rural/regional settings.
