Study Summary

This study intends to evaluate the impact of resistance training variable manipulation (intensity and volume) on body composition, fatigability and functional capacity in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.

Study Description

The treatment for breast cancer (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy) provokes collateral effects,such as muscle mass and strength losses, increase of fat mass, fatigue and disability and reduced quality of life in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. The resistance training is assumed as a non-pharmacologic interventions in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. However, it is unclear whether the manipulation of training variables (intensity and volume) maximize the effects of resistance training on body composition, fatigability and functional capacity in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.
