Physical Exercise for Breast Cancer Survivors: Face-to-face Versus Home-based (On4Rehab)
Pilot Study of Supervised Adapted Physical Exercise in Women With Breast Cancer After Treatment - Face-to-face Context vs Online Home Based
The present investigation is a pilot feasibility study that aims to compare a physical exercise intervention in a face-to-face context (considered state of the art) with a physical exercise intervention in a distance context (online), both supervised, in women, of legal age, physically inactive, breast cancer survivors after primary treatment with curative intent.
Before and after the intervention these women will have a physical and functional assessment, as well as a pre-trial cardiopulmonary exercise test, to check if there are safety conditions to participate and also to self tailor the exercise prescription.
The prescription follows the ACSM´s exercise guidelines for cancer survivors and will comprise a 8 week combined exercise training, 3 times per week, in which two of them will be supervised and the third session of the week (cardio session) won´t.
Chat´s and weekly personal messages, as well as education, will be used to promote retention and exercise adherence.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Face-to-Face Group
This arm will have a 3 day per week face-to-face participant-tailored combined exercise program, with 2 supervised sessions and 1 non supervised aerobic session, for 8 weeks
|
Before the intervention, these women will undergo an evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness, functional fitness, psychological status and a physiatry assessment. A consent form is signed before the start. The physical exercise intervention was planned based on the recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine for cancer survivors (ACSM 2019), with two supervised combined training sessions (mobility, aerobic training, strength and flexibility training) planned, and one unsupervised aerobic training session per week, interspersed with at least one rest day in between, for 8 weeks. The intensity will be individualized and defined based on the initial assessment. The structure of the training plan was based on the FITT-VP principles (frequency, intensity, time, type, volume and progression) recommended by the ACSM (2019). |
Experimental: Home-Based Group
This arm will have a 3 day per week home-based participant-tailored combined exercise program, with 2 remotely supervised sessions (online) and 1 non supervised aerobic session, for 8 weeks
