Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

In this phase II pilot project the feasibility of a defined medical physical activity should be verified for increased physical conversation. The study is conducted multicentric (single group) with a study population of 30 patients. After completion of adjuvant chemotherapy the patients will participate a defined physical training, 3 times per week within a time period of 52 weeks. Planned study duration 2 years.
