EXERT-BCH Exercise Regimen to Improve Muscle Mass After Treatment of Breast Cancer
EXERT-BCH: Prospective Study of EXErcise Regimens After Treatment for Breast Cancer to Improve Hypertrophy
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This protocol seeks to analyze patient outcomes of two standard of care, time-efficient, monitored group exercise regimens of high-load resistance training to improve hypertrophy in women who have been treated for ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma of the breast.
As part of the standard exercise program, patients will undergo a fitness evaluation at the AHNCI Exercise Oncology and Resiliency Center before the start of the exercise program. This evaluation will be used to customize the patient exercise program. The exercise program consists of small group training sessions held approximately 3 times per week at the center for 12 weeks (3 months). The fitness evaluation and exercise program are standard of care. Participation in this study will last the duration of the exercise program, about 3 months. All group exercise sessions will be closely monitored by the center staff who are Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Control Arm / ACSM Guidelines
The control group will follow resistance training guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) with the goal of promoting hypertrophy
|
The control group will follow resistance training guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine.
Eight to ten multi-joint exercises will be performed to stress the major muscle groups.
|
Experimental: Experimental Arm / EOC Guidelines
The experimental group will use a regimen that is often used by strength and conditioning coaches to maximize hypertrophy, and is part of the standard regimens at the Exercise Oncology Center (EOC)
|
The exercise regimens will employ a mixture of compound exercises utilizing both open and closed kinetic chain movements (CKC), focusing on exercises with the goal of increasing skeletal muscle mass and body composition.
The regimen will incorporate 6, then 12, then 25 repetitions in sequence per set per muscle group with minimal amounts of rest between.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Determine changes in muscle and fat mass during and after each exercise regimen
Time Frame: The exercise program will last for 8 weeks and continuously monitored by the PI and clinical team.
|
The experimental group will follow a 6-12-25 program geared at optimizing hypertrophy and metabolism via high volume and increased time under tension.
