Rowing Following Breast Cancer Chemotherapy

Indoor Rowing as a Novel Exercise Therapy for Cardiovascular Rehabilitation in Middle-Aged and Older Breast Cancer Survivors Following Chemotherapy


Sponsor

University of Florida

Enrollment

72 participants

Start Date

Feb 26, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

There are more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States and cancer survivors have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to chemotherapy than adults without cancer. Cardiovascular rehabilitation can be an effective strategy to decrease the incidence of CVD and its risk factors in this population. The proposed study may help to examine the effect of a novel exercise intervention on cardiovascular rehabilitation in breast cancer survivors.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether joining a rowing program can help women recover physically and emotionally after completing breast cancer treatment. Exercise is thought to support recovery, and rowing is a low-impact, full-body activity that may be especially beneficial. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman between 40 and 80 years old - You have been diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer (stages I–III) - You finished breast cancer treatment between 6 and 24 months ago (ongoing hormone therapy such as tamoxifen is allowed) - You are able to participate in physical exercise **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) - You have physical limitations that prevent you from rowing (such as significant shoulder or arm problems) - You are currently undergoing active cancer treatment (other than hormone therapy) - You have another serious health condition that makes exercise unsafe Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
