Water-based Versus Land-based Exercise for Breast Cancer Survivors
July 27, 2023 updated by: Raquel Sebio, Universitat Pompeu Fabra
Effects of Water-based Versus Land-based Exercise on Cancer-related Fatigue and Functional Capacity in Breast Cancer Survivors
Physical activity and exercise have demonstrated to be an integral part of the cancer-continuum care.
Despite strong evidence suggesting that both endurance and strength training should be encourage in cancer patients, there is still controversy regarding exercise dosage, frequency, volume and optimal environment of delivery.
In this randomised controlled trial we aim to compare water-based versus land-based exercise in breast cancer survivors to decrease cancer-related fatigue (CRF), improve Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), exercise tolerance, muscle strength and physical activity levels.

---|---|
Experimental: Water-based Exercise Group
The Water-based Exercise Group will compromise participants attending a 2 weekly exercise intervention each session lasting 1 hour for 12 weeks. Each session will consist of:
|
The intervention consist will of a water-based exercise protocol
|
Active Comparator: Land-based Exercise Group
The land-based exercise group will attend as well 2 weekly sessions lasting 1 hour each for 12 weeks. Each session will consist of the same structure as the Water-based Exercise Group including:
|
The intervention will consist of a land-based exercise protocol
