The goal of this study was to explore the association between levels of exercise and patterns of masculinity, body image, and quality of life in men undergoing diverse treatment protocols for prostate cancer.
Fifty men with prostate cancer (aged 42-86) completed self-report measures. Self-reported measures included the following: the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ), Masculine Self-esteem Scale (MSES), Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ), Body Image Scale (BIS), and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P). Masculinity, body image, and quality of life scores were compared between men obtaining recommended levels of exercise (aerobic or resistance) and those not obtaining recommended level of exercise. Secondary outcomes included the association between masculinity, body image, and quality of life scores as they relate to exercise levels.
There were significantly higher scores of masculinity (p < 0.01), physical well-being (p < 0.05), prostate cancer specific well-being (p < 0.05), and overall quality of life (p < 0.05) in those obtaining at least 150 min of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise. In the 48% of men who had never received androgen deprivation therapy, significantly higher levels of masculinity, body image, and quality of life were observed in those meeting aerobic guidelines.
Whether treatment includes androgen deprivation or not, men who participate in higher levels of aerobic exercises report higher levels of masculinity, improved body image, and quality of life than those who are inactive. Future longitudinal research is required evaluating exercise level and its effect on masculinity and body image.
本研究旨在探讨运动水平与男性接受不同前列腺癌治疗方案时的男子气概、身体意象和生活质量之间的关系。
50 名患有前列腺癌的男性（年龄 42-86 岁）完成了自我报告的测量。自我报告的测量包括以下内容：戈丁休闲时间运动问卷（GLTEQ）、男子气概自尊量表（MSES）、个人属性问卷（PAQ）、身体意象量表（BIS）和癌症治疗功能评估-前列腺（FACT-P）。对获得推荐运动水平（有氧运动或阻力运动）和未获得推荐运动水平的男性的男子气概、身体意象和生活质量评分进行了比较。次要结果包括男子气概、身体意象和生活质量评分与运动水平之间的关系。
在获得至少 150 分钟中等到剧烈有氧运动的男性中，男子气概（p<0.01）、身体状况（p<0.05）、前列腺癌特定状况（p<0.05）和总体生活质量（p<0.05）的评分显著较高。在从未接受过雄激素剥夺治疗的 48%的男性中，符合有氧运动指南的男性表现出更高的男子气概、身体意象和生活质量。
无论治疗是否包括雄激素剥夺，参与更高水平有氧运动的男性报告的男子气概、身体意象和生活质量水平都高于不活跃的男性。需要进行未来的纵向研究来评估运动水平及其对男子气概和身体意象的影响。
