A randomized controlled trial with four to five weeks of moderate/high intensity aerobic exercise program compared with no intervention for 32 prostate cancer patients waiting for radical prostatectomy at the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN). 16 patients will undergo the intervention. The expression of the hypoxic marker pimonidazole in the prostate specimens of intervention groups and the control groups will be assessed. This method is considered a reliable tissue oxygenation measurement technique. These patients will also have their and blood flow and hypoxia measured in prostate cancers through magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs).
