Summary

Cancer on the world stage remains a major public health problem and the most common type among women.

Female breast cancer survivors often have multiple comorbidities such as diabetic, heart disease, sarcopenia, arthritis, hypertension, and others. In addition to fatigue, reduced functional capacity of the affected upper limb and decreased quality of life. The effects of antineoplastic treatment associated with chronic diseases predispose the emergence of cardiotoxicity, increasing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and may lead to a decline in quality of life. This situation is due to the adverse effects that antineoplastic therapy exerts on the cardiovascular system.

According to the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society, physical exercise is one of the strategies adopted to prevent and reduce the effects of anticancer therapy, promoting effects on cardiovascular reserve5,6. Currently, although physical activity is essential for cancer survivors, the most effective exercise strategies (intensity, duration and type of exercise) to improve complications from breast cancer have not yet been defined.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of different types of physical training associated with functional capacity and quality of life in women undergoing antineoplastic treatment for breast cancer.

Conditions

  • Breast Cancer Female
  • Exercise Addiction

Interventions

OTHER

Rehabilitation, exercise

Combined training (continuous aerobic + resistance) The protocol will consist of supervised exercise lasting 1h10min each session (5 min of warm-up, 30 min of aerobic exercise, 30 min of resistance exercise and 5 min of cool-down/relaxation). Combined training (high-intensity interval (IAI) + resistance) - Supervised exercise lasting 30 min each session (5 min warm-up, 20 min IAI and 5 min cool-down/relaxation). And Resistance Training \- Resistance exercise will be performed at 70-80% of one repetition maximum (1-RM); 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. The main muscle groups will be trained using training equipment with free weights and body mass of the participants. Exercises included leg extension, seated bicep curl, squat, seated triceps extension, sit-up, seated shoulder press, and standing pulldown
