97 Background: All patients living with cancer, including those with metastatic cancer, are encouraged to be physically active. This paper examines the feasibility of an aerobic exercise intervention for men with metastatic prostate cancer. Methods: ExPeCT (Exercise, Prostate Cancer and Circulating Tumour Cells), was a multi-centre randomised control trial for men living with metastatic prostate cancer. Participants were randomized to either control or exercise arms. Participants in the exercise arm completed six- months of prescribed aerobic exercise. Quality of life assessments were completed at baseline, at 3 months and at 6 months using a standardised questionnaire derived from the Harvard Health Professionals Follow-up study. Physical activity was measured using a self-administered physical activity questionnaire. Exercise adherence data was collected via Polar heart rate monitors, worn by the patient for every exercise session undertaken. Results: A total of 61 patients were included (69.4±7.3 yr, Body Mass Index 29.2±5.8 kg/m2). The median time since diagnosis was 34 months (IQR 7-54). A total of 35 (55%) of participants had >1 region affected by metastatic disease. A total of 54 (81%) of participants completed the 3 month assessment and 52 (78%) of the participants completed the 6 month assessment. Adherence to the supervised sessions was 83% (329 out of 396 sessions attended). Participants were adherent to both the intensity (82%) and duration (83%) of the prescribed exercise programme during class sessions. No adverse events were reported by participants enrolled in this study. There was no significant difference in physical activity levels, sedentary time or quality of life between either group at baseline, 3 months or 6 months. Systolic blood pressure was significantly lower in the exercise group when compared to the control group at 3 months (p=.008) and 6 months (p=.011). Conclusions: The exercise intervention was tolerated well by a group of patients with a high burden of metastatic prostate cancer however did not lead to change in physical activity levels or quality of life. This trial provides proof of principle evidence for future exercise studies involving this patient group. Clinical trial information: NCT02453139.

Objective: Effects of regular physical activity on the human health is an important factor for the life quality parameters. The present study aimed to determine effects of moderate aerobic exercise on the life quality and human health. Materials and Methods: There were three groups (competitive cyclists, recreational cyclists and control) who voluntarily participated in this study. The cyclists of the National Bicycle Federation who could continue trainings during the Corona virus pandemic (n: 50), cyclists of the amateur clubs (n: 50) and 50 sedentary adults (≥19 years) were enrolled (n:150). World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire Abbreviated Version - WHOQOL-BREF-TR was used to determine participants' life qualities. Results: Competitive cyclists trained for 13.33 (±7.24) hours per week and they had 4798 min/week MET values. Subgroup scores of WHQOL-BREF-TR (physical, psychological, social, environmental, national environment, general life quality and health) were found to be higher in competitive cyclists than others (recreational cyclists and sedentary adults). In addition, the values of competitive and amateur cyclists in the physical health level parameters were higher than the control group. Competitive cyclists had higher scores for psychological, social health and general life quality subgroups than others (p<0.05). Conclusion: The present study showed that if physical activity level increases, general health status and life quality increase. As a result of the study, it was found that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (2600-4800 MET-min/week energy expenditure) between 7-13 hours a week supports the protection of general health and has positive effects on life quality. There is a need for future research to determine different exercise types, intensity, frequency and their effects on the general health status and life quality.
