This pilot research trial studies cardiorespiratory function in patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body and does not respond to treatment with hormones, and are undergoing treatment with sipuleucel-T, abiraterone acetate, or enzalutamide. Both enzalutamide and abiraterone can cause cardiorespiratory side effects, however, exactly how these affect aerobic capacity has not been defined. In contrast, sipuleucel-T is not known to cause cardiorespiratory side effects. Understanding how each of these treatments influences aerobic capacity, which is also a predictor of quality of life, may allow for better treatment strategies for prostate cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate changes in cardiorespiratory function in all arms.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Compare peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) with patient- and physician reported functional status.
II. Evaluate the variability of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in all arms.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the potential for disease progression contributing to decline functional status on each arm.
II. Describe the dietary intake on each arm.
III. Evaluate psychosocial characteristics related to fitness and physical activity.
IV. Describe self-reported exercise habits in each arm.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 treatment arms.
ARM A: Patients receive abiraterone acetate per standard of care.
ARM B: Patients receive enzalutamide per standard of care.
ARM C: Patients receive sipuleucel-T per standard of care.
All patients undergo cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) at baseline and week 21 of treatment.
