Experimental: Intervention arm
Patients will perform a supervised physical exercise program specifically developed for breast cancer patients, based on the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine. The physical exercise program comprises 3 weekly sessions of 60 minutes each. Each session will involve an initial warm-up with light mobility exercises, followed by resistance and aerobic training and ending with a return to calm phase of light stretching exercises.
|
Other: Physical exercise program
Frequency: 3 weekly sessions. Intensity of aerobic training: reporting 12-17 in the Borg scale. Time of aerobic training: 10 minutes in the first and second weeks and then 2 added minutes at each 2 weeks. Type of aerobic training: walking and stepping. Intensity of resistance training: without load in the first week and, then, 15 submaximal repetitions. Time of resistance training: 30 minutes. Type of resistance training: using free weights; the lower body exercises will be squat, leg extension, leg curl and calf raise; the upper body exercises will be frontal and lateral arm raise, chest press, seated row and bicep curl.

Official Title ICMJE | Effects of a Physical Exercise Program in Quality of Life of Breast Cancer Survivors | ||||
Brief Summary | A 16 weeks 3-weekly supervised and adapted physical exercise program will be applied to breast cancer survivors in surveillance and, in estrogen receptor positive cases, under hormonotherapy. The program will be applied in group classes of 20 participants, in the facilities of one local gymnasium, by fitness instructors included in the investigation team. Investigators will evaluate the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), physical activity, cardiopulmonary fitness, upper limb strength and lower limb functionality. The investigators also aim to evaluate the safety of the program and oncological outcomes such as symptoms related to disease and its treatment and, also, overall survival and disease free survival. | ||||
Detailed Description | This protocol describes a two-arm prospective non randomized trial that will test the HRQoL effect of a 16 weeks 3-weekly supervised and adapted physical exercise program that combines muscle strength and aerobic training with progressive intensity. The benefits of physical exercise programs in breast cancer survivors is well known. However, the studied programs usually are not generalizable because of needs of specialized exercise professionals and materials. The investigators aim to evaluate if it is possible to obtain the same benefits in HRQoL, physical activity, cardiopulmonary fitness, upper limb strength and lower limb functionality when the program is applied in group classes by trained fitness instructors with exercise strategies based in limited material. Maximum participants of each group class is 20. Each participant will pass through a 16 weeks control phase, during which should maintain the usual physical activity and, then, through a 16 weeks study phase, during which undergoes the physical exercise program. In each phase, the participants will be serially evaluated. During the 32 weeks, each participant will pass through 5 evaluation moments: at baseline, at 8 weeks, at 16 weeks before beginning the study phase, at 8 weeks of physical exercise and 16 weeks of physical exercise at the end of the program. After, investigators aim to evaluate each participant at 3, 6 and 12 months ant, then, yearly. | ||||
