This study seeks to examine the impact of exercise on serum factors related to prostate cancer in African-American men. Aims and Objectives: 2) To examine the effect of 12 days of aerobic exercise over 4 weeks on PSA levels in African American men. 3) To examine the effect of 12 days of aerobic exercise on free and total testosterone insulin IGF1 and SHBG levels in African American men. A total of 40 AA men (ages of 40 - 70 yrs, BMI > 25 and < 35 kg/sq m, sedentary) will be randomized into 2 groups 12 days of aerobic exercise (20 participants) or a control group (20 participants). Exercise participants will engage in 12 days of exercise (30 minutes of walking on a treadmill at 50 - 60% of their maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max)). Free testosterone lipids glucose insulin SHBG body weight BMI and body fat composition anthropometric measurements height weight will be measured before and after the study.
