About this study
The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. Participants were divided into two equal groups: a control group and an exercise group. Patients in the control group were followed with normal conventional medical treatment, while participants in the exercise group underwent an 8-week, 3-day-a-week exercise program. All participants were evaluated before and after treatment using the Index of Erectile Function, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Short Form, and the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool.

Primary outcomes
-
International Index of Erectile Dysfunction
Time frame: 10 weeks
Mean change in International Index of Erectile Dysfunction scores. There are five specific areas addressed including Erectile Function (questions:1-5 & 15;score range: 0-5, maximum score:30); Orgasmic Function (questions:9-10; score range:0-5; maximum score:10); Sexual desire (questions:11-12; score range:1-5; maximum score:10); Intercourse satisfaction (questions:6-8; score range:0-5; maximum score:15); Overall satisfaction (questions:13-14; score range:1-5; maximum score:10). The lower the score represents greater dysfunction within each domain.

Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool
Time frame: 10 weeks
it was developed by Symonds et al. (2007) to better define premature ejaculation for use in clinical studies, this is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 5 items. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Serefoglu et al. (2009). The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 20.0 and the lowest score is 0.0. Scores higher than 11 are defined as "Premature Ejaculation", scores of 9-10 are defined as "possible Premature Ejaculation", and scores of eight or less are defined as "no Premature Ejaculation".
