Most studies have been conducted to examine the
effects of exercise intervention in patients with PCa after
androgen deprivation therapy or radiotherapy. No studies
have focused on the reinforcement of pelvic floor and
limb muscles after RP, such as was shown in our series.
Courneya et al2 classified 155 patients with PCa who
underwent androgen deprivation therapy into 2 groups
(82 patients in the exercise group and 73 patients in the
control group). The exercise group performed a 12-week
resistance exercise regimen twice a week at an intensity
of 60%-70% 1-repition maximum.2 According to these
investigators, no change in body composition or prostatespecific
antigen level was observed, although the quality
of life was improved from decreased fatigue. Segal et al19
also reported that significant effects were observed in
strengthening physical activity, reducing fatigue, and improving
cognitive function in the exercise intervention
group. Galvão et al20 performed a 20-week resistance
exercise study of the upper and lower extremities solely
for 10 patients with in PCa in the exercise group in
whom androgen deprivation therapy was performed. According
to these investigators, of the categories associated
with functional fitness, muscle endurance and physical
balance function improved; however, no change in body
composition was seen.
