“…All seven group-based exercise studies 4,58,59,61,62,65,66 tended to show significant improvements in at least two of the three domains of physical fitness assessed, namely muscular strength, muscular endurance and aerobic endurance. In contrast, only two of the four home-based studies that assessed physical fitness measures found any significant improvements, and these were only observed for aerobic endurance 51,64 .…”

“…All exceptions to this rule were observed for group-rather than home-based exercise and included significant increases in muscle mass 61 and quadriceps thickness 65,66 and a significant decrease in body fat percentage 4 . There was little effect of exercise mode on these responses as these changes were observed as a result of resistance 4,65 , aerobic 66 and combined resistance and aerobic exercise 61 .…”

“…Aerobic endurance was assessed using walking tests conducted on a treadmill or specific older adult 6 minute, 400 m and shuttle walking tests 51,57,59,[61][62][63][64][65][66] . Functional performance was generally assessed with walking speed, STS and TUG tests 61,62,65,66 , all of which are commonly used with older adults to predict physical function and falls risk 67,68 . Quality of life was generally assessed using cancer-specific questionnaires (FACT-P and QLQ-C30) 4 three studies recruited those on radiation therapy 51,59,62 (of which two of these studies also reported that 27.3% 51 and 61.2% 59 of the participants were currently using ADT) and two studies recruited those who were/had used a mixture of ADT and surgery 4,66 .…”

Context: Prostate cancer patients, especially those on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) experience many symptoms that make it difficult to maintain their independence and quality of life. As ADT act via reducing testosterone production, exercise may offset many of the ADT side-effects and that of the cancer itself. Objectives: This article sought to conduct a systematic review of the literature on whether exercise could reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for prostate cancer patients. Methods: Using relevant databases and keywords, 12 training studies were found meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Grade A level evidence was observed for the benefits of exercise in improving muscular endurance, aerobic endurance and overall quality of life as well as reducing fatigue in prostate cancer patients. Grade B evidence also suggested that exercise may improve prostate cancer patients' muscle mass, muscular strength, functional performance (walking and sit to stand speed) as well as health-related, social and physical quality of life. These effects appeared greater for group-rather than home-based exercise; especially if these programs including resistance training. Conclusion: It is recommended that most prostate cancer patients be encouraged to exercise regularly by their clinicians and significant others. Where possible, this exercise should be group-based and include some resistance training. Future research in this area should directly compare group-and home-based as well as resistance, aerobic and combined resistance and aerobic training to better elucidate the most effective forms of exercise for this population and what factors affect initiation and adherence to such programs.

BackgroundPeople with cancer undergoing active treatment experience numerous disease-and treatment-related adverse outcomes and poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Exercise interventions are hypothesized to alleviate these adverse outcomes. HRQoL and its domains are important measures of cancer survivorship, both during and after the end of active treatment for cancer. ObjectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness of exercise on overall HRQoL outcomes and specific HRQoL domains among adults with cancer during active treatment. Search methodsWe searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PEDRO, LILACS, SIGLE, SportDiscus, OTSeeker, Sociological Abstracts from inception to November 2011 with no language or date restrictions. We also searched citations through Web of Science and Scopus, PubMed's related article feature, and several websites. We reviewed reference lists of included trials and other reviews in the field. Selection criteriaWe included all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized controlled clinical trials (CCTs) comparing exercise interventions with usual care or other type of non-exercise comparison intervention to maintain or enhance, or both, overall HRQoL or at least one distinct domain of HRQoL. Included trials tested exercise interventions that were initiated when adults with cancer were undergoing active cancer treatment or were scheduled to initiate treatment. 1 Exercise interventions on health-related quality of life for people with cancer during active treatment (Review)

Resistance Training and Reduction of Treatment Side Effects in Prostate Cancer Patients

Abstract: Progressive resistance exercise has beneficial effects on muscle strength, functional performance and balance in older men receiving androgen deprivation for prostate cancer and should be considered to preserve body composition and reduce treatment side effects.
