Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a common treatment for men with prostate cancer, but it may result in adverse effects on body composition, insulin resistance and quality of life (QOL). Exercise interventions, including progressive resistance training (PRT), may ameliorate many of these adverse effects. However, existing studies have been aimed at reversing established ADT-induced metabolic changes utilising heavily supervised exercise programs, which are diffi- cult to implement in routine clinical practice. We investigated whether a home-based PRT program, instituted at the start of ADT, could prevent adverse effects over a 6-month period.
