Summary

This study looked at whether a 12-week aerobic exercise program can improve quality of life, thinking skills, and physical function in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. 69 survivors were split into three groups: one did moderate aerobic exercise three times a week, one got physical activity counseling, and one continued their normal routine. Researchers measured changes in blood markers, fitness, and well-being over 12 weeks.
