  1. Note: The above values are mean differences between baseline and 6 months with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. The reference group is the personal training arm
  2. FACT Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (G general, F fatigue subscale, P prostate); PT personal training
  3. aThe Bayesian posterior probability of inferiority is calculated as the probability that the mean outcome in the comparator arm is lower than that in the personal training arm by at least the specified non-inferiority margin. See text for more details
