Prostate Cancer Survivors and Exercise and Behavioral Counseling

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Physical Activity, Cancer of the Prostate, Cognitive Impairment, Quality of Life

In brief

This study will evaluate the feasibility of delivering a supervised physical activity program plus standard exercise counseling (SPA+EC) versus a supervised physical activity plus motivationally-enhanced behavioral counseling (SPA+BC) in prostate cancer survivors (PCS). Fifty participants (n=25) will be randomized to receiving SPA+EC or SPA+BC (n=25). We hypothesize that PCS receiving the SPA+BC intervention will result in greater increases in objectively-assessed physical activity compared with PCS receiving the SPA+EC intervention.
