Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
There is strong evidence demonstrating the benefits that physical activity (PA) provides for patients with breast cancer (BC), both in prevention and throughout various treatments and in survivorship. However, there is still very limited information available regarding the level or amount of PA undertaken by BC patients or survivors. On the other hand, although there are general recommendations for physical exercise- 150-300 minutes per week of moderate activity or 75-150 minutes per week of vigorous activity-the type of physical exercise that is best at each stage of the disease, as well as adherence and preferences for different exercise programs, has not been thoroughly studied. Physical exercise is a healthy, easily implemented and low-cost intervention that ought to be much more widely adopted among the BC population. Understanding all these factors will help us better assess the degree of implementation and compliance with exercise programs in our population of BC patients. This diagnosis will be the first step towards establishing new strategies to improve patients' PA levels and their adherence to exercise programs, ultimately ensuring that these changes become consolidated as new lifestyle habits that provide our patients with a preventive factor against relapses, as well as a better quality of life.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- To analyze the level of physical activity (PA) of Spanish patients diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) through self-administered questionnaires
- timeFrame
- Day 1
- description
- The primary objective is assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). This questionnaire is a standardized instrument for measuring physical activity levels over the previous seven days. The long form comprises 27 to 31 detailed items covering work, transportation, household tasks, gardening, and leisure activities, with results classified in metabolic equivalents (METs) to categorize activity as low, moderate, or high. The questions are based on the number of days per week participants engage in specific physical activities and the duration of each activity.
