Abstract
Purpose: Physical Exercise is normally suggested in preventing metabolic risk factors especially in cancer patients. Despite aerobic exercise has been well studied, few data are available in case of combination with resistance exercise, particularly unsupervised. The study aims to assess the cardiovascular and metabolic impact of mixed exercises at moderate level, in cancer survivors . Methods:15 survived breast cancer women aged 55.51 ± 10.94, were enrolled . BMI and circumferences of waist/hip were measured at the beginning and after 6 months of unsupervised exercise , as well as HR , BP, respiratory rate, Systolic and Diastolic Blood pressure and perceived exertion from CR10 scale, calculated at the 6MWT test. The unsupervised exercise program consisting on three sessions/ week for 6 months. The resistance exercises included a maximum of 20 strength repetitions, calculated from Hand Grip and Chair Test for strength for the upper and lower limbs. Aerobic training included 30 minutes of “fast walking” at 70% of own maximum HR calculated at 6MWT. Results: Anthropometric parameters showed a trend toward an improvement: BMI (Kg/m2) T0: 28.90 ± 7.70 T6:28.84 ± 7.05.
