Combined Strength Training and Functional Endurance Exercise Regimen on Cancer -Related Fatigue and Physical Performance
Completed
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Fatigue
In brief
Primary Objective: -Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/functional endurance) reduces the level of fatigue among women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment as compared to a control group. Secondary Objectives: * Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/functional endurance) increases the overall ability to perform daily physical activities (ADLs) among women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment as compared to a control group. * Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/ functional endurance) increases mobility in women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment as compared to a control group. * Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/functional endurance) increases endurance in women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy as compared to a control group.
