A modular multimodal exercise program (aerobic, resistance, flexibility) tailored to bone metastasis location preserves self-reported physical function and lower body muscle strength in prostate cancer patients with bone metastases without increasing skeletal complications or bone pain.
If you have prostate cancer that has spread to your bones, you can still exercise safely. The key is to work with a professional who can tailor your routine to avoid putting direct stress on your weak bones. Focus on moderate resistance training (lifting weights you can handle 10-12 times) and low-impact cardio like cycling or walking. This approach helps maintain your strength and daily function without increasing your risk of fractures or pain.
Multimodal modular exercise in prostate cancer patients with bone metastases led to self-reported improvements in physical function and objectively measured lower body muscle strength with no skeletal complications or increased bone pain.
Why this rating
Randomized Controlled Trial with a relatively small sample size (n=57) but rigorous safety monitoring and clear primary endpoints.
