Summary

This trial looks at whether giving nutrition and exercise advice to prostate cancer patients who are on androgen deprivation therapy can help to reduce obese frailty and change the levels of myokines in blood.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for prostate cancer survivors who are overweight or obese and have been on androgen deprivation therapy for less than 5 years. They must be able to walk, have normal liver function, not be receiving other cancer treatments like chemo, and can't have severe heart or lung conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests if personalized nutrition advice and exercise programs can reduce obesity-related weakness in men treated with hormone therapy for prostate cancer. It also looks at changes in blood levels of muscle-related proteins (myokines).
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve diet and exercise adjustments rather than medications, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or strain. Dietary changes might cause digestive alterations.

Group I: Supportive care (diet, exercise, education)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive an individualized diet plan for 6 months. Patients complete an individualized home-based exercise program aerobic and resistance exercise over 10-30 minutes per day, at minimum 3 days per week for 6 months, and a progressive resistance exercise program including an individually tailored prescription targeting the chest, shoulders, arms, and leg musculature for 1-4 sets of 10-15 repetitions, 5 days per week over 6 months. Patients also attend monthly educational meetings for 6 months.
