Exercise may shield hearts of older breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06595147
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a 12-week structured exercise program can improve heart and muscle health in breast cancer survivors aged 60 and older who had chemotherapy. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to either supervised exercise training or a yoga and stretching program. The goal is to see if exercise can help prevent the decline in physical function and heart health that often follows cancer treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Structured exercise training (aerobic and resistance) and group-based yoga and stretching
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that structured exercise helps older breast cancer survivors maintain heart and muscle function after chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The results may not apply to all survivors, and the exercise program may not be more effective than yoga and stretching.
