HIIT Following Breast Cancer Chemotherapy
High Intensity Interval Training: Optimizing Exercise Therapy to Mitigate Cardiovascular Disease Risk Following Breast Cancer Chemotherapy
University of Florida
158 participants
Mar 7, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Chemotherapy is an effective breast cancer treatment, which helped to increase the 5-year survival rate to approximately 95%. However, breast 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 and durability of a novel high-intensity interval training compared to moderate-intensity continuous training on cardiovascular rehabilitation in breast cancer survivors.

Interventions
Research participants will be randomly assigned to either high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), or the usual care (UC) group for a 12-week intervention period.
After a 12-week intervention period (HIIT, MICT, or UC), research participants will have a 12-week observation period to assess the durability of two types of different exercises.
