Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Strength training group
A four months strength training program during androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer patietns.
Strength training group
After 5-10 months on androgen deprivation therapy the patients in the intervention group go through a four months strength training intervention. The patients will perform three strength-training sessions per week, two under supervision of a sport instructor. Each session will consists of one-three sets of nine strength-training exercises, performed at an intensity of 6 or 10 repetitions of maximum (6-10 RM).
Control group
Patients in the control group are not discouraged from performing normal activities. They are however asked not to start a strength training program or increase their activity level in the same period as the experimental group is performing their strength training program. We will offer the control group a modified strength training program after the post-intervention assessment.
