Different Resistance Training Intensity Prescription and Monitoring Methodologies: Effects on Strength, Body Composition, and Well-being in Survivors of Breast Cancer

Effects of Different Methods of Prescription and Monitoring of Resistance Training Intensity on Muscle Strength, Body Composition, and Psychological Well-being in Survivors of Breast Cancer


Sponsor

Universidad de Almeria

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

May 9, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of three different methods of prescribing and monitoring resistance training intensity on muscle strength, body composition, quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in breast cancer survivors.


Eligibility

Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing different approaches to prescribing and monitoring resistance (strength) training to see which method best improves strength, body composition, and wellbeing in breast cancer survivors. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old - You have been diagnosed with breast cancer - You finished chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery within the past 10 years **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have metastatic (spread) breast cancer - You are planning breast reconstruction surgery within 3 months of the study start - You have a medical condition that means you absolutely cannot exercise Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALDaily 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.

BEHAVIORALTraining 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.

BEHAVIORALTraditional 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.
