Summary

This study looks at how well the body of women with early triple-negative breast cancer can switch between burning fat and sugar for energy—a trait called metabolic flexibility. Researchers will test if different types of exercise (moderate cardio, high-intensity cardio, or strength training) can improve this flexibility, muscle strength, body composition, and quality of life. Forty women will be tracked from diagnosis through treatment and a 12-week exercise program.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

exercise training (cardiovascular at FATmax, cardiovascular at MAP, or resistance training)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that specific exercise programs improve metabolic flexibility, strength, and quality of life for TNBC patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 40 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and exercise benefits may be modest or not sustained.
