SUMMARY

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a physical exercise intervention model on breast cancer survivors and their adherence. The sample will consist of 30 women with a primary diagnosis of breast cancer. The intervention will be carried out in a highly complex oncology center in Maceió-AL, Brazil, using the FITT components of the prescription: frequency (4 days a week), intensity (aerobic part through musical beats, subjective perception scale and resistance exercises through the number of maximum repetitions), the total time of each session will be 45 minutes. The intervention arms include combined exercise training and aerobic exercise (i.e., walking). Adherence to each intervention evaluated in the 12-week intervention cycle will be measured in each session.

Participants
Target number of participants: 30
Treatments
Experimental: Combined exercise training
In the combined exercise training regimen, participants will perform two hospital-based sessions with 45 minutes of aerobic dance and resistance training. The intensity of the aerobic dance will be \~ 132-135 beats per minute, whereas the intensity of the resistance training will be measured by the subjective rate of perceived exertion. The resistance exercise training regimen was set in a circuit, and participants will perform six exercises per session targeting the large muscle groups. Each exercise will be executed in two sets per session.
