Effects of Exercise Oncology Intervention in Fitness Capacity and Body Composition in Breast Cancer Survivals

Effects of Exercise Oncology Intervention in Fitness Capacity and Body Composition in Breast Cancer Survivals

The goal of this interventional study is to analyze the impact of a supervised oncological exercise intervention in surviving breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Evaluate the efectivity of a supervised individualized and adapted oncological physical exercise program in the cardiovascular fitness of the participants. Analyze the impact of this intervention in the body composition, functionality and quality of life of the parcitipants Participants will perform a controlled and adapted program, supervised by an especialized professional during 16 weeks. Researchers will compare this intervention group, where the supervised program will take place, with a control group, where the patients will perform regular physical activity (non-supervised) to see the changes in the efectivity and impact in cardiovascular fitness, body composition and quality of life.

Patients will be assessed and screened prior the intervention. After the physical assestment they will attend 2 days a week for the supervised, and controlled sessions of physical exercise, performed in the nature (Retiro park in Madrid). To meassure the intensity of the program, they will use the 1-10 Borg ratio of perceived exertion (RPE).

An initial physical assestment where clinical history, body composition, functionality, cardiovascular fitness and quality of life will be tested. Patients will be screened and then divided in diferent groups, depending on both their cardiovascular and physical capacity. Then they will perform 2 sessions of combined strength and endurance training per week for 16 weeks. At the end of the training program, the patients will be assesed to evaluate the changes in their cardiovascular fitness, functionality, body composition and quality of life.

An initial physical assestment where clinical history, body composition, functionality, cardiovascular fitness and quality of life will be tested Patients will be suggested to mantain active physical activities in their daily life. At the end of the training program, the patients will be assesed to evaluate the changes in their cardiovascular fitness, functionality, body composition and quality of life.

Evaluate the effectiveness of the program in the improvement of the cardiovascular capacity in breast cancer survivors (looking for a difference of 3,49 ml/kg/min of oxigen consumption), using a submaximal cardiovascular test.

Analyze the effect of the physical exercise program in the body weight, the body mass index (BMI), percentages in body fat, abdominal fat, fat free mass, bone mass and total body water in patinets that surviuve breast cancer via bioimpedancy

Know the impact of the oncologic physical exercise program in the physical functionality of the patients, using the 6 minutes walk test and the 30 seconds sit and stand test.

Meassure the level of adherence to the oncologic physical exercise program, registering the assistence to te sessions

Evaluate the effect of the intervention in the level of exercise performed by the patients, using the IPAQ cuesttionaire (short version)

Evaluate the impact of the physical exercise program in the fatigue levels of the participants via the FACT-F questionnaire

Evaluate the impact of the oncologilcal physical exercise program in the quality of life of the patients in relation with their heath, usint the EQ5D questionnaire.

Evaluate the impact of the physical oncologic program in the anxiety and depression levels of the subjects using the Hospitalary Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

Inclusion Criteria: Women diagnosed with primary, type I to III A/B cancer, with hormonal positive (ER+ and PG+), triple positive (ER+, PG+ y HER2+) or triple negative subtype. Women with chemotherapy and radiotherapy phase complete. Women with post-surgery phase complete. Women that are within 5 years from diagnostic. ECOG Score above or equal to 0 or 1. Exclusion Criteria: Submit medical contraindications to physical exercise by their reference doctor. Women in state IV o methastasis. Pregnant women. Meet any of the criteria of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) to perfrom a cardiovascular fitness test.

The information will be shared with the patients after the completion of every test. This information will be shared only with the participant researchers of this study.
