Evidence is accumulating that exercise-based rehabilitation improves physical capacity and quality of life in cancer survivors. However, recruitment and persistence of male cancer patients in rehabilitation and physical activity are low and novel health promotion strategies are warranted. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the meaning of recreational football as a team and interaction-oriented health-promoting activity in men with prostate cancer (n = 26). Qualitative data were collected through six focus group interviews (n = 4-6) and 20 h of participant observations. The two data sets were analyzed using framework analysis. The analysis produced 11 subthemes that were structured into three overarching themes: (a) motivational drivers; (b) united in sport; and (c) confirmation of own capacity. The findings indicated that participants regarded football as a welcome opportunity to regain control and acquire a sense of responsibility for own health without assuming the patient role, and football training legitimized and promoted mutual caring behavior in a male-oriented context. In conclusion, the study suggests that football, due to its cultural representation of masculine ideals, may be a potent and unique strategy for increasing recruitment and adherence to physical activity in prostate cancer patients.
越来越多的证据表明，基于运动的康复训练可提高癌症幸存者的身体机能和生活质量。然而，男性癌症患者参与康复训练和体育活动的招募率和坚持率较低，因此需要新的健康促进策略。本研究旨在了解休闲足球作为一项团队运动以及以互动为导向的健康促进活动，对前列腺癌男性患者（n = 26）的意义。通过六次焦点小组访谈（n = 4 - 6）和20小时的参与者观察收集定性数据。使用框架分析法对这两组数据集进行分析。分析得出11个副主题，这些副主题被归纳为三个总体主题：（a）动机驱动因素；（b）在运动中团结；（c）对自身能力的确认。研究结果表明，参与者将足球视为一个受欢迎的机会，能够在不承担患者角色的情况下重新获得对自身健康的掌控感并培养责任感，并且足球训练在以男性为导向的环境中使相互关怀行为合法化并得到促进。总之，该研究表明，由于足球在文化上代表了男性理想，它可能是一种有效且独特的策略，可提高前列腺癌患者参与体育活动的招募率和依从性。
