Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Primary Objective: -Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/functional endurance) reduces the level of fatigue among women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment as compared to a control group. Secondary Objectives: * Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/functional endurance) increases the overall ability to perform daily physical activities (ADLs) among women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment as compared to a control group. * Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/ functional endurance) increases mobility in women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment as compared to a control group. * Determine if a specific exercise regimen (combined strength training/functional endurance) increases endurance in women with breast cancer while undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy as compared to a control group.

- Patient Fatigue Scores
- timeFrame
- Approximately 6 months
- description
- Self-reported score that measures subjective perceptions of fatigue in which respondents rate their experience of feeling tired. It ranges from 1 (not at all) to 5 (extremely) and describes discomforts of cancer related fatigue in four dimensions (physical, mental, emotional, and temporal) (Schwartz and Meek, 1999).

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects must have a clinical diagnosis of breast cancer (Stages I - III), 2. be between the ages of 21 and 60 years; 3. may have undergone definitive surgical procedure (lumpectomy or mastectomy), and 4. be scheduled to receive any chemotherapy/hormonal blocker regimen that is appropriate for treatment of breast cancer (neoadjuvant or adjuvant) 5. approval of the Oncologist responsible for overseeing the cancer treatment plan for the patient to participate in this study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Exclusion criteria include presence of concomitant major health problems in which an exercise regimen is contraindicated (e.g. cardiac, pulmonary, and orthopedic) 2.
