Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hypothesis: Men randomized to the guided arm will exhibit significant post-intervention decreases in adiposity and increases in lean body mass compared to men randomized to the control arm.
Aim 2. To investigate the effects of participation in the Men Moving Forward guided intervention on health behaviors and quality of life outcomes.
Hypothesis: Men in the guided program will exhibit increased intake of fruits and vegetables and decreased intake of red meat/processed meat, greater levels of physical activity (minutes per week and #times/wk resistance training) and improved quality of life (targeting physical function, social isolation, sexual functioning) compared to men in the control arm.
Aim 3. To explore the effects of the intervention program on blood pressure, blood lipids, fasting glucose, and biomarkers associated with comorbidities and carcinogenesis (i.e adiponectin, leptin, C-peptide, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, C-Reactive Protein, estradiol, testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin)
Hypothesis: Men in the guided arm will exhibit greater improvements in biomarkers associated with chronic disease and carcionogenesis compared to men in the self-guided control arm.
Men Moving Forward supports PC survivors in adopting physical activity and eating patterns that will improve their body composition, bolster QOL and reduce risk for comorbidities and, potentially, PC recurrence.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Immediate Lifestyle program
The Intervention will be conducted in cohorts of 15-20. We anticipate there will be 5-6 cohorts over the course of the study. Men assigned to the Guided Lifestyle Program will participate in twice weekly sessions - the first weekly session will be 120 minutes in length with the first hour addressing lifestyle change education and strategies, the second hour will be supervised exercise with strength training. The second weekly session will be a one-hour supervised exercise session with strength training. Men will also receive 2-3 text messages weekly. They will also receive a participant informational binder with health and exercise information and tools as directed by ACS nutrition and physical activity guidelines.
Immediate Guided Lifestyle Program Intervention
The Guided Lifestyle Program will receive sessions that meet twice weekly and 2-3 text messages weekly. They will also receive a participant informational binder with health and exercise information and tools as directed by ACS nutrition and physical activity guidelines.
Waitlist Control
In the waitlist control arm, the men will not receive any intervention for 16-weeks. After the 16-week assessment, men randomized to this arm will crossover to the intervention arm.
Immediate Guided Lifestyle Program Intervention
The Guided Lifestyle Program will receive sessions that meet twice weekly and 2-3 text messages weekly. They will also receive a participant informational binder with health and exercise information and tools as directed by ACS nutrition and physical activity guidelines.
