RE-FIT: Remote Exercise for WTC Responders with Prostate Cancer

This study, called RE-FIT, is looking at a Remote Supervised Exercise Program for men who responded to the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster and have prostate cancer. Many WTC responders with prostate cancer experience ongoing physical challenges. This program aims to help improve strength, balance, and overall well-being. You might be able to join if you are a WTC Health Program-certified male with prostate cancer, are 55 or older, have completed initial cancer treatment, and have low levels of regular physical activity. The researchers will be looking at how many people join the study, how many stay in the study, and how well participants stick to the exercise program. The current status of this study is unclear.
