Study Summary
This trial is comparing tai ji quan, strength training, and stretching to see which is most effective in preventing falls and improving function in prostate cancer survivors receiving ADT.
Who is the study for?
Men with prostate cancer who are currently on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for at least 6 months or have been in the past, without other concurrent treatments. They must have had a fall in the last year or show certain signs of physical slowness. Participants need to be medically cleared for moderate exercise, able to attend most classes, fluent in English, not already doing similar exercises regularly, and free from cognitive issues that affect participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The GET FIT Prostate trial is testing three different types of exercise programs: tai chi focused on balance, strength training for muscle power, and stretching for mobility. Men will be randomly assigned to one program and followed over a period of 12 months to see which is best at preventing falls and improving function during/after ADT treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from participating may include typical risks associated with moderate intensity exercise such as muscle soreness or strain. However, all participants will be medically screened beforehand to minimize any serious health risks.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Tai Ji Quan TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
An integrated exercise routine consisting of 8 purposeful movement forms and a set of therapeutic movements. Participants attend a supervised, group-based tai ji quan program remotely where they perform an integrated exercise routine consisting of 8 purposeful movement forms and a set of therapeutic movements 3 times per week for 60 minutes per session.
Group II: Strength TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants wear a weighted vest while performing exercises using functional movement patterns used in everyday activities (chair rises, 90° squats, side-to-side squats, toe raises, lunges (forward, lateral, backward, walking), multi-directional step ups). Participants attend supervised, group-based moderate-intensity strength training program remotely 3 times per week for 60 minutes per session.
Group III: Stretching ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Participants attend a supervised flexibility program where they will perform a series of whole body stretching exercises with a focus on developing and maintaining a healthy back. Participants attend a supervised, group-based supervised flexibility program remotely 3 times per week for 60 minutes per session.
