Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is widely used in men with prostate cancer (PCa) to delay disease progression and enhance survival. The use of ADT is often associated with a vast spectrum of side effects that considerably reduce quality of life. Exercise has been proposed as a non-pharmacological strategy to counter some adverse effects of ADT among patients with PCa. Particularly, recreational football-based interventions have been suggested as an enjoyment approach to involve patients with PCa in regular exercise practice. Given its intermittent nature and vigorous efforts, adverse events associated with recreational football practice have been reported. To handle this issue and to involve patients with PCa in recreational football practice, walking football has emerged as a more suitable exercise modality
