PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Take action for your health

Research demonstrates that men with prostate cancer who remain active often experience longer, healthier lives. Even dedicating just 20 minutes a day to activity can deliver meaningful benefit!

A study of men with localized prostate cancer found that those who walked at least 20 minutes daily after diagnosis had a lower risk of dying from prostate cancer and a lower overall risk of mortality compared to less active men⁹.

A meta-analysis has demonstrated that exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness and may enhance quality of life (QoL) and reduce PSA levels in men with prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance¹⁰.

  • Cardio exercises help improve your heart health, endurance, and energy levels. Activities such as walking, cycling, or light aerobic exercises can help you stay active and support your overall well-being.

  • Strength and balance exercises help maintain muscle mass, improve stability, and reduce the risk of falls. They can help you feel stronger and more confident in your everyday movements.

  • Flexibility exercises gently stretch your muscles and improve suppleness. They can help reduce muscle tension, improve posture, and support easier movement.
