Effects of Exercise Oncology Intervention in Fitness Capacity and Body Composition in Breast Cancer Survivals

Effects of Exercise Oncology Intervention in Fitness Capacity and Body Composition in Breast Cancer Survivals

The goal of this interventional study is to analyze the impact of a supervised oncological exercise intervention in surviving breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Evaluate the efectivity of a supervised individualized and adapted oncological physical exercise program in the cardiovascular fitness of the participants.
• Analyze the impact of this intervention in the body composition, functionality and quality of life of the parcitipants

Participants will perform a controlled and adapted program, supervised by an especialized professional during 16 weeks.

Researchers will compare this intervention group, where the supervised program will take place, with a control group, where the patients will perform regular physical activity (non-supervised) to see the changes in the efectivity and impact in cardiovascular fitness, body composition and quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Women diagnosed with primary, type I to III A/B cancer, with hormonal positive (ER+ and PG+), triple positive (ER+, PG+ y HER2+) or triple negative subtype.
• Women with chemotherapy and radiotherapy phase complete.
• Women with post-surgery phase complete.
• Women that are within 5 years from diagnostic.
• ECOG Score above or equal to 0 or 1.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Submit medical contraindications to physical exercise by their reference doctor.
• Women in state IV o methastasis.
• Pregnant women.
• Meet any of the criteria of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) to perfrom a cardiovascular fitness test.
