Active substance
Upper extremity aerobic exercise training program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple exercise program to improve heart health in breast cancer survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise may not significantly change arterial stiffness.
