PROUD Trial Summary

This trial is studying the effects of a 12-week exercise program on older men with urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate. The men will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a health education

Who is the study for?
Men aged 60+ with moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms due to enlarged prostate, not very active physically, can walk 400m unaided (cane ok), and have a smartphone. They shouldn't be on certain bladder medications or have had recent changes in prostate meds, nor should they have a history of specific urologic surgeries or cancers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if a remote exercise program helps older men with urinary issues from an enlarged prostate better than just receiving health education. Participants will either do the exercises or get calls and newsletters for comparison.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves exercise as an intervention, potential side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or injury. Health education control has no physical side effects but may lack the benefits of active intervention.
