Resistance Exercise and Breast Cancer

Many people give their time in different ways to improve conditions for the breast cancer community. Here we can discuss what's happening and what needs to happen. We can also celebrate the successes, acknowledge the input and learn how we can help or become involved.

Resistance Exercise and Breast Cancer

Postby Mandy » Thu Apr 12, 2012 11:30 am

I would like to extend an invitation to women who have completed breast cancer treatment within the previous 1.5 years to participate in a research study titled: Effect of resistance training on natural killer cell activity in women recovering from breast cancer treatment

Studies have shown that a healthy immune system improves prognosis after breast cancer treatment and we aim to investigate the effect of resistance training on a very important immune system marker.

If you are eligible and decide to participate, you will be required to complete an assessment session prior to (at baseline) and following a 16-week intervention period. After baseline testing you will be randomly assigned (like the toss of a coin) to either a resistance training (exercise) group or a non-experimental (control) group. Participants assigned to resistance training will engage in fully supervised exercise sessions three times per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) at the University of Western Sydney, Campbelltown Campus. As this is a trial comparing the benefits of exercise with sedentary behaviour, it is essential for the success of the research to have a control group. Participants randomised to the control group will receive education and a demonstration about the benefits of resistance exercise at the completion of the 16 week study.

If you are interested in participating or finding out more about this research project please contact me via email or telephone. Thank you for considering this invitation.
