" Men with prostate cancer may benefit from walking briskly for at least three hours a week, new research suggests. Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco studied 1,455 men, all of whom were diagnosed with prostate cancer that had not spread beyond the prostate. Participants provided information on their levels of physical activity about 27 months after diagnosis. The researchers found that men who walked briskly for at least three hours a week typically had a 57 per cent lower rate of disease progression than those who walked slowly for less than three hours a week. Lead researcher Dr Erin Richman, whose findings are published in the journal Cancer Research, noted: &amp;#039;The benefit from walking truly depended on how quickly you walked. Walking at an easy pace did not seem to have any benefit&amp;#039; The scientist added that walking is &amp;#039;something everyone can and should do to improve their health&amp;#039;. Dr Helen Rippon, head of research management at the Prostate Cancer Charity, commented that more research is needed. However, she said: &amp;#039;We would certainly advise men diagnosed with prostate cancer to ensure that their lifestyle includes a good amount of physical activity, and walking is often the easiest way of achieving this.&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
