Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
POWER Health is a randomized clinical trial with a two-arm parallel design whose objectives are 1) to study metabolic flexibility and autonomic function (both capacities that describe cardiovascular health) in a sample of postmenopausal oncological women vs postmenopausal untreated controls (CT); and 2) to analyze the impact of two different 8-week physical exercise supervised interventions: HIIT training vs strength training focused on muscle power, on both cardiovascular capacities in these populations.

- description
- Two cohorts of both healthy postmenopausal women and women free of postmenopausal breast cancer recurrence. Each of the groups will be split into two different exercise programmes. Both programmes, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) programme (metabolic power training) and Muscle Power Intervention (MPI) programme will consist of 8 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed of relapse free-cancer (RFC) or patients not diagnosed of any cancer at least the last 15 years (CG) * Aged between 35 and 75 years * Diagnostic of breast cancer (i.e., including ductal carcinoma, invasive carcinoma, triple negative; RFC) or physiological menopause (CG) * Not participating in a nutritional/dietary intervention * Not being physically active (i.e., not to be participating in any physical exercise program in the last 3 months, or performing less than 600 metabolic equivalents (METS)/week of moderate-vigorous physical activity). * To be capable and willing to provide informed consent * Not to suffer from any specific condition that may impede testing of the study hypothesis or make it unsafe to engage in the exercise intervention (i.e., determined by the research staff). Exclusion Criteria: * Medical contraindication for being engaged in an exercise. * Additional surgery planned within the intervention * Consuming usually betablocker or any drugs alterning nervous system functioning * History of another primary invasive cancer (RFC) or suffer a serious chronic illness (CG) * To present any of the following cardiac conditions: (i) myocardial infarction or coronary revascularization procedure within prior 3 months, (ii) uncontrolled hypertension (i.e., systolic ≥180 mmHg or diastolic ≥100 mmHg), (iii) uncontrolled arrhythmias (iv) valvular disease clinically significant, (v) decompensated heart failure or (vi) to suffer from known aortic aneurysm.
