Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Histology consistent with small-cell, ductal, or neuroendocrine prostate cancer; Cerebral metastases; - Visceral metastases, e.g., lung or liver metastases, as the only metastatic site; - Critical coronary artery disease; - Acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris within the past 6 months; - Uncontrolled arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus; - Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, GOLD stage III/IV; - Severe heart failure, NYHA class III/IV; - Other malignancies diagnosed within the past 5 years, except basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or non-muscle-invasive low- to intermediate-risk urothelial carcinoma; - Physical limitations that make running and/or kicking a football impossible;

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
This is a pilot/feasibility study. The primary objective is to assess feasibility, measured by the primary endpoint of participants’ training adherence. Study feasibility is defined as a mean training adherence of at least 70% of the training sessions after completion of the intervention, i.e., after 6 months.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Clinical parameters and secondary endpoints of the pilot study: Physical parameters: physical performance assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, including relative VO2peak in ml/min/kg body weight and maximum workload in watts; body composition assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis, including absolute and relative body fat mass, fat-free mass, and muscle mass; handgrip strength. Quality of life and mental health assessed using standardized questionnaires: EORTC QLQ-PR25, EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC FA12, HADS, Distress Thermometer, IPAQ-SF. Cardiovascular and metabolic parameters: blood pressure and resting heart rate. Assessment time points: baseline, before the intervention; after 3 months; and after 6 months.
