Summary

This study intends to evaluate the impact of resistance training variable manipulation (intensity and volume) on body composition, fatigability and functional capacity in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.

Detailed description

The treatment for breast cancer (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy) provokes collateral effects,such as muscle mass and strength losses, increase of fat mass, fatigue and disability and reduced quality of life in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. The resistance training is assumed as a non-pharmacologic interventions in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. However, it is unclear whether the manipulation of training variables (intensity and volume) maximize the effects of resistance training on body composition, fatigability and functional capacity in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer Survivors
• Postmenopause

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Control group	The volunteers will not performed the interventions.
OTHER	Lower-load resistance training (LL)	The volunteers will be perform the resistance training, three times a week for 12 weeks on non-consecutive days, three sets with 30% of 1RM and repetition until or close to failure in each set and 1.5-min of rest between sets and exercises.
OTHER	Higher-load resistance training (HL)	The volunteers will be perform the resistance training, three times a week for 12 weeks on non-consecutive days, three sets with 80% of 1RM and repetition until or close to failure in each set and 1.5-min of rest between sets and exercises.
OTHER	Higher-volume resistance training (HV)	The volunteers will be perform the resistance training, three times a week for 12 weeks on non-consecutive days, six sets with 80% of 1RM and repetition until or close to failure in each set and 1.5-min of rest between sets and exercises.
