Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Objectives:
Primary:
Evaluate the impact of the Get REAL and HEEL research program (standardized combination of aerobic and resistance training) on change in V02peak from pre to post 16-week intervention.
Secondary:
Evaluate the impact of the GR&H program (standardized combination of aerobic and resistance training) on change in cardiorespiratory function, immunology, physical function parameters, cognition, balance, and patient-reported outcomes from pre to post 16-week intervention.
Evaluate changes in all measures annually over the 5 year follow-up period.
Report on enrollment, recruitment, and attrition.
Exploratory Objectives
The investigator's exploratory aims are focused on evaluating the impact of exercise on biomarkers: (1) aging - p16INK4a, (2) total leukocyte, lymphocyte (T cells and natural killer cells), monocyte and neutrophil counts and T cell proliferation assays, natural killer cytotoxicity assays, and cytokine production from stimulated neutrophils and monocytes, and (3) circulating pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
OUTLINE:
Participants will complete pre-intervention assessments, questionnaires and blood draw at week 1 and 2 pre-intervention, followed by a 16-week aerobic and resistance training exercise program (intervention). Participants will complete assessments, questionnaires and blood draws at week 1 and 2 following the intervention and then again at 6 months and 12 months following intervention. Questionnaires only will be administered at year 2, 3,4 and 5 following intervention.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients will be eligible for this protocol if they have
- histologically confirmed early stage (non-metastatic) breast cancer
- and have recently (within 1 year) completed their initial treatment (they may continue to be on endocrine treatment).
No exclusions will be made based on ethnicity or race, although patients must be able to read and speak English.
Participants must provide IRB-approved signed written informed consent. The consent includes access to their medical records, including demographic and billing information, diagnoses, treatments, and laboratory results. Participants may also be asked to provide permission to contact their non-UNC doctors for additional medical record information, and may also require a medical release from various treating physicians.
Interested persons must agree to adhere to the 16-week GR&H protocol and complete all blood draws, assessments and questionnaires to the best of their ability. The informed consent will also include annual follow-up assessments and questionnaires for up to 5 years after they have completed the 16-week program.
Patients who are approached about participating in LCCC1630 and decline to do so are able to join GR&H as a supportive care program.
Exclusion Criteria:
Interested persons will be excluded from study participation if
- they do not have evidence of a cancer diagnosis or completion of surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment,
- or if they have previously completed the GR&H exercise program. Entirely at the discretion of GR&H investigators, physical function and other assessments conducted at baseline may also determine that a patient is not medically suitable for the GR&H protocol. Consented patients who are determined to be medically not suited for the GR&H protocol (unevaluable) will remain in the study for analyses comparing those who are evaluable with those who are not.

16-week Exercise Program
Interested patients will attend a group meeting where they will be screened and consented to the study.
During weeks 1 and 2 patients will complete pre-intervention baseline assessments and blood draws followed by a 16-week supervised exercise program at Get REEL and HEAL facility.
Study participants will complete progressive aerobic and resistance exercise training.
Post-intervention weeks 1 and 2 participants will complete assessments, questionnaires and blood draws.
Participants will be followed up at 6 and 12 months post intervention with physical assessments, questionnaires and blood draws.
Annual follow-up will occur at year 2,3,4 and 5 post intervention with questionnaires only.

Ultrasound -- LogicView™ software (General Electric Company, Milwaukee, WI, USA) will be used to generate real-time panoramic cross-sectional images of the VL.
Three panoramic scans at a gain of 50dB and a depth of 5.0 cm.
All image analyses will be completed using Image-J software (version 1.46r, National Institutes of Health, USA) with each image area individually scaled from pixels to centimeters via the straight-line function.
The polygon function will be used to determine the CSA of the VL by selecting a region including mostly muscle and minimal surrounding fascia.
Greater EI values represent greater fibrous (non-muscular) composition.
