Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Despite its benefits, the optimal method for prescribing and monitoring resistance training intensity in breast cancer survivors remains unclear. Traditional methods based on one-repetition maximum (1RM) testing may not fully account for individual variations in fatigue and performance. Alternative approaches, such as load-velocity relationships, allow for more precise and real-time adjustments to training intensity, potentially optimizing outcomes.
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of three different methods of resistance training intensity prescription and monitoring on muscle strength, body composition, quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in breast cancer survivors. The findings will contribute to developing evidence-based exercise guidelines, enhancing rehabilitation strategies and overall well-being in this population.

Daily load-velocity-based training intensity adjustment
At the beginning of the training session, the one-repetition maximum (1RM) will be estimated based on the individual's load-velocity relationship, using the general velocity associated with the 1RM for the exercises included in the session. Additionally, during the training sessions, intensity will be monitored, and load will be adjusted in real time by movement velocity.

Training intensity prescription based on an initial 1RM estimation using load-velocity relationship.
In the first training session, the one-repetition maximum (1RM) will be estimated based on the individual's load-velocity relationship, using the general velocity associated with the 1RM for the exercises included in the session. This 1RM will be used to prescribe exercise intensity throughout the intervention.

Traditional training with intensity prescription based on 1RM testing.
The traditional training group will follow a training program using the traditionally employed methodology for assessing and prescribing training intensity in breast cancer survivors. This methodology is based on an initial 1RM estimation conducted through a 1RM test, which will be used to prescribe the training load throughout the intervention.
