Unsupervised home-based exergaming for 12 weeks had an effect on the primary outcome of 6MWT in patients with prostate cancer receiving ADT. However, no significant effects were found in secondary outcomes. The exergaming intervention appeared safe and could be an alternative to traditional aerobic and resistance training in this patient group.
