A Pilot Study of Physical Activity Intervention in African American Men After Radical Prostatectomy
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of recruiting African
American prostate cancer survivors to a 12 week physical activity intervention study of
three arms (aerobics, resistance training, and usual care) through physician referral and
community advertisement strategies. In addition, the investigators will investigate the
acceptance rate of the intervention and gather preliminary results on the effect of exercise
on African American men's urinary and sexual functions. These data can then be used to
refine the intervention and its implementation model, and to inform the submission of a
larger grant to the National Institutes of Health.
