Impact of recreational football in men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy
Men with PCa undergoing ADT experience side effects that, when combined with the physical inactivity and poor fitness often seen in these patients, may heighten their risk of cardiovascular and metabolic complications. A recreational football-based exercise programme can be implemented to improve physical fitness, aerobic capacity, systolic blood pressure and quality of life.
