Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer (PCa) has side effects that significantly impair health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Exercise ameliorates many ADT, but different modalities, particularly in the home-based setting, have not been well studied. In this study authors randomly assigned 66 PCa survivors receiving ADT to 6 mo aerobic or resistance training. Psychosocial well-being and physical fitness were measured at baseline, 3 mo, then postintervention....

Background: Measuring and predicting pain volatility (fluctuation or variability in scores over time) can help improve management. Perceptions of its consequent disabling effects are often heightened under the conditions greater uncertainty unpredictability associated with volatility.

In recent years, multiple approaches have aimed at reducing such traumatic memories while therapeutic progress proceeds. One of...
Absences of normative, 10-20 % declines in blood pressure (BP) at night, termed nocturnal non-dipping, are linked to increased cardiovascular mortality risks. Current literature has these absences psychological states, hormonal imbalance, and disorders involving hyper-arousal. This study focuses on evaluating associations between non-dipping indices functional cardiac capacity fitness.The current was a cross-sectional evaluation the physical variables e.g. Metabolic Equivalent (MET) Maximum...
