Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial studies the feasibility of implementing various adaptive training exercise programs to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in patients after receiving breast cancer treatment. Information from this study may help researchers better understand how to implement adaptive training interventions to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in patients after receiving breast cancer treatment.

- description
- Patients participate in AE sessions 3 times per week for 12 weeks. After 12-weeks, non-responders participate in combined AE and RE sessions for an additional 12 weeks, while responders continue participating in the AE sessions alone for an additional 12 weeks.
