Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study evaluates the comparative effectiveness of a multi-modal facility-based rehabilitation program (therapist-led resistance exercise and relaxation training) versus a self-directed home-based resistance exercise program in post-treatment breast cancer survivors. Participants in both intervention groups will complete a 16-week program consisting of two exercise sessions per week.The multimodal, therapist-led approach is hypothesized to result in superior improvements in physical performance and quality of life outcomes compared to self-directed home exercise
