Summary

This study looks at whether a 12-week exercise program can improve heart and muscle function in women over 60 who had chemotherapy for breast cancer. Chemo can sometimes weaken the heart, and exercise might help. Researchers will compare a structured exercise program to a stretching-yoga program in 60 participants to see which works better.
