THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR PROSTATE CANCER
The Nordic countries have recommendations on how much you should exercise to achieve a good state of health. 150 minutes of physical activity spread over 5 days, i.e. 30 minutes at a time, is the current recommendation. The exercise should be medium intensity. In addition, people should perform low-intensity physical activity, so-called everyday activity.

HELP YOUR PATIENTS GET PHYSICALLY ACTIVE
NEXT and this booklet offer a brief summary of the side effects associated with androgen deprivation therapy, and of how physical activity and exercise can benefit patients and treat these side effects. NEXT focuses on strength training and can be used as a guide for a supervised exercise course, or as a guide for individual exercise if supervised exercise is not an option locally.
As a starting point, we recommend that all men with prostate cancer who undergo androgen deprivation therapy begin a supervised exercise course in order to learn how to exercise correctly and avoid injury, particularly if the disease has spread to the bones.

WHAT CAN NEXT OFFER YOUR PATIENTS?
NEXT makes it easier for doctors, nurses and physiotherapists to motivate their patients to exercise safely and effectively. Knowledge of the health effects of exercise on these patients will better equip you to help them to get started with the exercise programme and then to continue on their own at the end of the programme.
