This trial is testing a new approach to help prostate cancer patients exercise regularly. The program combines three parts: a personalized exercise plan tailored to you, ongoing motivation and coaching from another prostate cancer patient who successfully meets exercise goals, and support from your doctor and exercise specialists. The goal is to help you maintain regular physical activity over time, not just for a few months.
Most prostate cancer patients don't exercise enough, even though research shows that 150 minutes of brisk walking per week can reduce cancer mortality by 29% and lower the chance of cancer returning by 57%. Previous exercise programs have only lasted a few months and patients stop exercising afterward, so researchers want to test whether peer support and ongoing professional guidance help people stay active for the long term.

You will work with exercise specialists to create a personalized, realistic exercise plan. Throughout the study, a peer coach—another prostate cancer patient who successfully meets exercise goals—will provide regular motivational support and check-ins. Your doctor and adapted physical activity professionals will also guide and support your exercise routine. If you're in the control group, you'll receive the usual care, which means general advice about being more active at home. The study uses a stepped design, meaning different sites start at different times, and the program is designed for long-term sustainability beyond the typical 6-month programs.
