Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The breast cancer screening and diagnostic period is associated with heightened symptoms of anxiety and depression. Physical exercise has been found to effectively decrease these symptoms in healthy and diseased populations. This study aims to determine if a pre treatment exercise intervention can minimize symptoms of anxiety and depression in women undergoing screening for breast cancer.
