Summary

Women living with and beyond breast cancer are at a heightened risk for experiencing adverse mental health outcomes and declines in cognitive function following chemotherapy treatment. Women living with and beyond breast cancer have reported increased levels of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic which may have significantly impacted their quality of life (QoL). Physical activity (PA) may be used to manage mental health and improve cognitive function in women living with and beyond breast cancer. Research is needed to assess the feasibility of a supervised, remotely delivered, combined (i.e., aerobic + resistance) exercise program to improve cognitive function and manage adverse mental health in women living with and beyond breast cancer. This study will pilot an 8-week, remotely delivered, combined (i.e., aerobic + resistance) exercise and behavioural counselling intervention on cognitive function and mental health outcomes (i.e.,anxiety, depression, self-efficacy and self esteem) in women living with breast cancer who received chemotherapy treatment within 12-48 months.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Combined Exercise + Behavioural Counselling

The combine exercise intervention will consist of three 30-minute, supervised, remotely-delivered resistance training classes as well as three 30-minute, unsupervised aerobic training (i.e., walking) sessions each week. Participants will also participate in bi-weekly, 45-60 minute, remotely-delivered, group-based behavioural counselling sessions delivered via videoconferencing (i.e., Zoom). Participants will be asked to participate in the intervention for 8 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Active Control

The active control group will participate in three 30-minute, supervised, remotely-delivered classes targeting balance and flexibility. The program will be delivered at a low-intensity by a Registered Kinesiologist via videoconferencing (i.e., Zoom). Participants will be asked to participate in the program for 8 weeks.
