Simulated-altitude to Optimize Aerobic Exercise Among Breast Cancer Survivors With Limited Mobility

Summary

The study will evaluate the utility of hypoxic exercise training to improve cardiovascular and metabolic health among obese breast cancer survivors. While participants exercise, a lower fraction of inspired oxygen will be used to simulate a higher altitude. This approach removes the mechanical strain needed to sustain moderate-to-vigorous exercise intensity which is believed to support exercise tolerance. Participants are randomized to either the treatment (walking+simulated-altitude) or control (walking under normoxic conditions).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Walking+simulated-altitude

Participants will walk on a treadmill for up to 50 minutes at a 16% oxygen level (administered via exercise mask), which is similar in altitude to Flagstaff, AZ. The progression of exercise training will be based on a varying percents of heart rate reserve.

BEHAVIORAL

Walking (control)

Participants will walk on a treadmill for up to 50 minutes.The progression of exercise training will be based on a varying percents of heart rate reserve.
