Bjerre ED, et al. - Researchers examined acceptability of patients with prostate cancer for exercise in a local football club under regular conditions (ie, continued to play football after 6 months including paying membership fee), and assessed how 1 year of community-based football training affected both all randomized participants and just those adhering to the per-protocol criterion of playing football. In this pragmatic, multicentre, parallel randomized controlled trial, which was performed in 5 Danish urological departments, they randomly assigned 214 men with prostate cancer to either 6 months of free-of-charge football training twice weekly at a local club (football group) (n = 109) or usual care (usual care group (n = 105), including brief information on physical activity recommendations at randomisation. Among participants allocated to football training, more than half continued with football in the club even when they had to pay their club membership fee themselves. In this setting, improvement in hip bone density and less frequent admissions to hospital were reported for men with prostate cancer allocated to a local football club. No change in men’s scores of prostate-cancer-specific quality of life was observed in correlation to playing football. Improvement in mental health scores and loss of fat mass was reported among men who played football more than 1 time a week. Based on these findings they emphasize clinicians to encourage men with prostate cancer to engage in local sports activities to reduce some of the negative effects of medical treatments.
