Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess in women with triple-negative breast cancer receiving neo-adjuvant chemotherapy the effects of an intense physical exercise program (intervention group) on physical capacity, compared with a control group not meeting the minimum exercise recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Justification and aims Breast cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer worldwide and the first among women in Spain. It is also the type of cancer with the highest mortality. Several studies have assessed the effects of exercise performed in the neo-adjuvant period, but there is heterogeneity among them.

Principal aim:

To assess in women with triple-negative breast cancer receiving neo-adjuvant chemotherapy the effects of an intense physical exercise program (intervention group) on physical capacity, compared with a control group not meeting the minimum exercise recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Secondary aims:

To compare the following outcomes in both groups: body composition, and quality of life and depression/anxiety.

Outcome Assessors

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercise

The patients in this arm will follow an exercise program for 24 weeks (i.e., during neo-adjuvant treatment), with two sessions per week including both aerobic and resistance training. Exercise intensity will range between 65% and 100% of the maximum score in the scale of Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise training

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise program for 24 weeks (with neo-adjuvant treatment), with two sessions per week including both moderate-to-intense aerobic and resistance training. The intensity of each type of exercise will range between 65% and 100% of the maximum score in the Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale.

Control

The patients follow their usual habits as well as a Yoga program. They will also receive educational sessions on the benefits of regular physical activity (brisk walking).
