Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the impact and implementation of home-based aerobic and resistance training for patients with breast cancer in Indonesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the home-based aerobic and resistance training improve physical fitness, fatigue, and quality of life of patients with breast cancer? * Are the benefits of aerobic and resistance training mediated by inflammatory level changes? * What are the barriers and facilitators in implementing the home-based aerobic and resistance training? * Is the home-based aerobic and resistance training feasible to be implemented in Indonesia's setting? To answer those questions, participants will: * Conduct home-based aerobic and resistance training with supervision. * Visit the hospital once every 4 weeks for their routine visits. * Undergo physical fitness test before and after 12 weeks using treadmill test, as well as interviews to assess fatigue, quality of life, and intervention acceptability. * Keep a diary to record the aerobic and resistance training at home. * Undergo routine monitoring by phone every week with the research team.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	12weeks of home-based aerobic (pedometer-driven walking) and resistance training using therapeutic bands	1. Home-based aerobic training: The aerobic exercise consisted of a walking program based on the number of steps per day, which was recorded using a pedometer (Yamax Digiwalker SW-200, Tokyo, Japan). The target of the aerobic exercise was individually tailored by adding 3000 accumulated steps above their baseline value on 5 days of the week. 2. Home-based resistance training: The resistance training was conducted using a set of resistance bands (Happy Fit®, Jakarta, Indonesia). This training consisted of two sets of biceps curl, triceps extension, chest press, shoulder flexion, shoulder press, lateral extension, seated row, and upright row, with 8-10 repetitions. Patients were instructed to perform each exercise with an average total duration of 10 minutes on 2 days a week at home. The exercises were individually tailored based on participants' strength and range of movement using a set of three color-coded bands representing low, moderate, and high levels of resistance.
