Summary

Breast cancer patients often suffer from long-term physical symptoms of weakness. In this study, investigators propose to compare how two different low intensity physical exercise training programs can improve handgrip strength for breast cancer patients with symptoms of weakness. Using brain imaging, the study will also investigate changes in brain structure, and muscle activity associated with handgrip.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Low Intensity Exercise Training 1

Subjects will perform handgrip exercise training at low intensity (20% maximal force) 5 times a week for 6 weeks (more details not provided to keep study blinded)

BEHAVIORAL

Low Intensity Exercise Training 2

Subjects will perform a different handgrip exercise training at low intensity (20% maximal force) 5 times a week for 6 weeks (more details not provided to keep study blinded)
