An examination of the physical and psychological benefits of a home-based physical activity programme (The Man Plan) for prostate cancer survivors on androgen deprivation therapy

1.To compare changes in physical activity, fatigue, quality of life (QoL), self-efficacy, sexual interest/function and diet and nutrition for prostate cancer survivors on androgen depravation therapy (PCa-ADT) participating in the Man Plan programme compared to PCa-ADT survivors undergoing usual care (i.e., no physical activity). The Man Plan programme is a physical activity programme designed for prostate cancer survivors on ADT treatment. The Man Plan consists of an instructional DVD, which goes through a series of exercises, which includes the use of resistance bands. The men are encouraged to engage in these physical activities on a regular daily basis. Each participant enrolled in the Man Plan component will be told to engage in the physical activities for a 20 minute period each day. With the exception of the physical activity measure (administered at three time points) and the focus group interviews (at three time points for a sub-group of participants) no strategies will be used to monitor adherence to the intervention. Each participant will enrolled in the study over a 12 month period.
