Introduction[edit | edit source]
Physical Activity (PA) is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure - including activities undertaken while working, playing, carrying out household chores, travelling, and engaging in recreational pursuits. Regular moderate intensity physical activity – such as walking, cycling, or participating in sports – has significant benefits for health. For instance, it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, colon and breast cancer, and depression. Moreover, adequate levels of physical activity will decrease the risk of a hip or vertebral fracture and help control weight[1]. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) globally man were slightly more physical active than women in 2010. Overall around 23% of adults aged 18 and over were not active enough in 2010 (men 20% and women 27%) [2].

The benefits of physical activity in men with cardiovascular diseases[edit | edit source]
In a meta-analysis study Sattelmair et al has found that physical activity clearly could decrease the risk of developing coronary heart disease (CRD). However, it is less clear how much of physical activity is needed. Indiciduals who engaged in the equivalent of 150 week of moderate-intensity leisure-time physical activity (corresponding to the minimum amount recommended by the 2008 US federal guidelines) had a 14% lower CHD risk.Those engaging in the equivalent of 300 min/week of moderate-intensity leisure-time activity had a 20% lower risk. Persons who were physically active at levels lower than the minimum amount recommended also had a significantly lower risk of CHD [3].
In a large, prospective study of U.S. men vigorous-intensity physical activity, even at ≥ 70 MET-hours per week, was associated with decreased risk of incident major chronic disease and total cardiovascular disease. Moderate-intensity physical activity was also associated with decreased risk, Running, tennis, and brisk walking were each associated with reduced risk for developing of cardiovascular disease [4].
The benefits of physical activity in man with chronic diseases[edit | edit source]
The benefits of physical activity in men with prostate cancer[edit | edit source]
Bourke et al in a conducted systematic review, which included 16 randomised control trials investigated the effects of exercise on cancer-specific quality of life in men with prostate cancer. It was found high quality evidence that exercise interventions can improve cancer specific quality of life and cancer specific fatigue in men with prostate cancer at up to 6 months of follow up. Positive beneficial effects were also evident for lower body strength and aerobic fitness[5]. In a follow-up study has been found that physical activity was associated with lower overall mortality in men with prostate cancer. Both nonvigorous activity and vigorous activity showed significant results [6].
