  1. Values are mean (SD). HIIT, high-intensity interval training; UC, usual care; PSA, prostate-specific antigen
  2. a Higher values indicate lower chance or lower PSA levels
  3. bMotivational outcomes were assessed on a 5-point scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much)
  4. cAnticipated outcomes were assessed on a 7-point scale from −3 (very much worse) to 0 (no change) to + 3 (very much better)
