Jumping into recovery: plyometric exercise may boost breast cancer Survivors' Well-Being
NCT ID NCT07460492
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a plyometric strength-endurance exercise program to conventional strength training in 51 women who are breast cancer survivors or currently undergoing treatment. Over 12 weeks, participants will attend supervised 60-minute sessions twice a week. Researchers will measure changes in quality of life, physical function, fatigue, and mental health to see if this type of exercise offers extra benefits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Plyometric strength-endurance exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a structured exercise option to help breast cancer patients and survivors feel better physically and mentally during and after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise programs also require commitment and may not suit all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Women aged 18 years or older. * Prior diagnosis of breast cancer. * History of mastectomy, including unilateral procedures, total breast surgery, or breast-conserving surgery. * Completion of postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy, when indicated. * Absence of contraindications for physiotherapy or therapeutic exercise. * Willingness to voluntarily participate in the study. * Ability to understand and sign the informed consent form. * Availability to participate in the training program for the entire intervention period (approximately 12 weeks). Exclusion Criteria * Participants will be excluded if any of the following conditions are present: * Active metastasis to other organs or tissues (e.g., liver, kidney, lung, brain) or stage IV cancer that prevents safe participation in the therapeutic exercise program. * Current diagnosis of cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular, or musculoskeletal diseases that contraindicate physical exercise or impair safe completion of the program. * Major surgery within the previous 6 months without medical clearance to resume physical activity. * Cognitive impairment or mental health conditions that limit comprehension of instructions or safe engagement in the intervention. * Current pregnancy. * Lack of medical clearance for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (as indicated by a medical certificate specifying the duration of the restriction and the conditions under which exercise may be resumed).
