GET FIT Together: Exercise for Older Men with Prostate Cancer

This study, called GET FIT Together, is looking at how different types of exercise programs affect older men who have had prostate cancer. It compares three approaches: a "socially enhanced supervised group exercise" where you have social time before exercising online with a group, a "supervised group exercise" online without the social time, and an "unsupervised independent exercise" where you follow a manual and video at home. The goal is to see which program best helps with "cancer loneliness" (feeling alone because of cancer), social isolation, and overall mental and physical health. You would exercise for 6 months, and researchers would check on your progress at the start, 3 months, and 6 months. To join, you must be a man aged 65 or older, have a prostate cancer diagnosis, have finished most treatments more than 3 months ago (except for ADT), and be experiencing cancer loneliness. You also need to be able to walk on your own.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 150 men with prostate cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three different exercise programs.
What's involved
You would participate in exercise sessions three times a week for 6 months. Your progress will be measured at the beginning, 3 months, and 6 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your progress will be followed for 6 months after starting the exercise program.

What this trial measures

  • Cancer lonelinessBaseline, 3- and 6-months

    Assessed by the 7-item Cancer Loneliness scale measures cancer-related loneliness. Each items asks how often people experience a feeling of loneliness specific to having cancer, such as "how often do you feel others cannot provide the support your need to deal with your cancer?" on a Likert scale of 1 (never) to 5 (always). Responses are averaged and scores range from 1-7 with higher scores indicating greater feelings of cancer loneliness. The scale has excellent reliability and construct validity in adult cancer survivors.
