Summary

This trial will compare the effects of different types of exercise on survival rates for men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer who have not started or are stable on certain treatments, without serious health issues like heart failure or recent major surgery. They should be able to exercise intensely, not already doing vigorous workouts regularly, and must understand the language used at the study site.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if high intensity aerobic and resistance training under supervision can improve survival in metastatic prostate cancer patients compared to those who do self-directed exercises. It also looks into the benefits of psychosocial support alongside physical training.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from intense exercise may include muscle soreness, fatigue, joint pain, and risk of injury. Psychosocial support generally has no physical side effects but can sometimes bring up emotional discomfort.
