Exercise showdown: Therapist-Led vs. home workouts for breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07465393
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two exercise programs for women who have finished breast cancer treatment. One group does supervised resistance and relaxation exercises at a facility, while the other follows a home-based resistance routine. The goal is to see which approach better improves muscle mass, strength, and quality of life. About 66 participants will be followed for 16 weeks.
