Summary

POWER Health is a randomized clinical trial with a two-arm parallel design whose objectives are 1) to study metabolic flexibility and autonomic function (both capacities that describe cardiovascular health) in a sample of postmenopausal oncological women vs postmenopausal untreated controls (CT); and 2) to analyze the impact of two different 8-week physical exercise supervised interventions: HIIT training vs strength training focused on muscle power, on both cardiovascular capacities in these populations.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two types of exercise training — muscle power training (fast, explosive movements) versus metabolic conditioning — in postmenopausal women, including breast cancer survivors, to understand how each affects metabolism, cardiovascular function, and overall health. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 35 and 75 years old - You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are currently in remission (no signs of cancer for at least 5 years), OR you are a healthy postmenopausal woman with no cancer history - You have not been regularly exercising in the past 3 months - You are not currently on a special diet or nutrition program **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a condition that prevents safe exercise participation - You are currently enrolled in another nutrition or physical activity intervention study - You are an active cancer patient still undergoing treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
