Conditions

Summary

This clinical trial evaluates a golf recreational exercise program for enhancing survivorship in underrepresented prostate cancer survivors. Golf is a multimodal recreational activity that requires participants to utilize all muscle groups to perform the golf swing, walk over hilly and uneven terrain, maintain balance during putting and squat-like tasks. Physical activity and exercise are beneficial to physical function, cognitive function, psychosocial health, and overall quality of life during prostate cancer survivorship. These aspects of health are impacted by prostate cancer treatment, especially androgen deprivation therapy. Additionally, supervised, group-based activity programs facilitate participation in physical activity. Researchers want to examine the changes in functional abilities, psychosocial health, and quality of life following participation in in a golf program designed for prostate cancer survivors.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study (called GREENS) is testing whether a golf program can improve physical health, mental well-being, and quality of life in older men with prostate cancer who are on hormone-blocking therapy (androgen deprivation therapy), which is known to cause muscle loss, weight gain, and fatigue. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a male between 55 and 85 years old with a first-time prostate cancer diagnosis - You have been receiving androgen deprivation therapy (and/or an androgen receptor blocker) for more than 6 months - You can stand independently without support - You have little to no golf experience (fewer than 5 times in the past 10 years) - You speak English **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a second cancer diagnosis (other than minor skin cancer) or bone metastases - You had prostate surgery (prostatectomy) less than 6 months ago - You are unable to stand or participate in light physical activity Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
