What this Trial Is About
The trial investigates the use of neuromuscular electrostimulation combined with a physical activity program to strengthen muscles in men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy. The goal is to measure the strength of the quadriceps muscle six months after starting the intervention by assessing the maximum load lifted in one repetition using a standardized thigh press. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives standard care with a physical activity program including muscle strengthening sessions, while the other group receives the same program plus additional neuromuscular electrostimulation sessions using a certified medical device. Both groups follow a nutritional and sports support plan consistent with routine care for prostate cancer patients under hormonal treatment. During the study, participants will attend up to 77 activity sessions involving muscle strengthening, testing, or unloading. Muscle strength will be regularly evaluated, and researchers will monitor adherence and safety throughout the six-month period. The study excludes those with certain health conditions or contraindications to exercise or electrostimulation. Overall participation lasts for six months from the start of the intervention.
