TITLE: Healthy Men Practicing Resistance Training Show No Improvement in Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentrations: A Cross-Sectional Study INTRODUCTION: Sedentary behavior is associated with an increased risk of prostatic diseases, including prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PC). These conditions frequently result in elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, particularly in men over 40 years of age. In 2020, prostate cancer was the second most diagnosed cancer worldwide, with 1,414,259 new cases and 375,304 deaths, and it was the most prevalent cancer among men in Brazil. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of resistance training (RT) on serum PSA concentrations in men who practice this type of exercise. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional quantitative study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CAAE: 87476225.8.0000.0089), conducted in 2025 at São Judas Tadeu University and data collected at a chain gym in the city of Santo André, SP, Brazil. The convenience sample consisted of 40 men aged 40–55 years with no prior diagnosis of prostatic diseases. Participants were divided into two groups: trained group (GT, n=24) and untrained group (GNT, n=16). Assessments included body composition evaluation (bioimpedance), food frequency questionnaire, prostatic symptoms (IPSS and associated quality of life), mental health (DASS-21), muscle strength (1RM), and serum PSA measurement. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, Fisher's exact test, and Spearman's correlation (significance level: p
