Data for continuous variables are presented as Mean (SD); p-value for between-group differences using independent sample t-test. Data for categorical variables are presented as Frequency (% of group); p value for χ2; LHRH-a: luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist; ADT: androgen deprivation therapy; AET: aerobic exercise training; RET: resistance exercise training.
