Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a 12-month randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of strength training exercise to stretching and relaxation exercise (control) on body composition (bone, muscle and fat mass), energy balance, bone turnover, and physical function (strength, power, gait, balance and self-report physical function and symptoms) in women who experienced premature menopause from chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Conditions

  • Breast Neoplasm
  • Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Resistance Exercise

60 minute sessions 3 times a week of moderate-vigorous lower and upper body free-weight strength training plus impact training (jumps). Two of the three sessions are conducted in a supervised setting at a university fitness facility and the third session is a modified version of the exercise program performed at home. Participants are in the exercise program for 12 months

BEHAVIORAL

Flexibility Training

60 minute session 3 times a week focusing on whole body flexibility (stretching) and relaxation (progressive neuromuscular relaxation, focused breathing) exercises. Exercises are selected to be non-weight bearing and require minimal muscle strength in order to provide a contrast to the intervention arm. Two sessions are conducted in a supervised setting at a university fitness center and the third is a home-based version of the program performed at home.
