Treatments
Experimental: Daily load-velocity-based training intensity adjustment
At the beginning of the training session, the one-repetition maximum (1RM) will be estimated based on the individual's load-velocity relationship, using the general velocity associated with the 1RM for the exercises included in the session. Additionally, during the training sessions, intensity will be monitored, and load will be adjusted in real time by movement velocity.
Experimental: Training intensity prescription based on an initial 1RM estimation using load-velocity relationship.
In the first training session, the one-repetition maximum (1RM) will be estimated based on the individual's load-velocity relationship, using the general velocity associated with the 1RM for the exercises included in the session. This 1RM will be used to prescribe exercise intensity throughout the intervention.
Experimental: Traditional training with intensity prescription based on 1RM testing.
The traditional training group will follow a training program using the traditionally employed methodology for assessing and prescribing training intensity in breast cancer survivors. This methodology is based on an initial 1RM estimation conducted through a 1RM test, which will be used to prescribe the training load throughout the intervention.
