“…This is in line with findings of Murtezani et al (31) and Dixit et al (32) but inconsistent with results of Nuri et al (33). Murtezani et al reported that 25-40 minutes of aerobic exercise with moderate intensity for 10 week significantly improves the quality of life and physical functioning of 62 women with breast cancer (31). Dixit et al reported that moderate intensity aerobic exercise is a fundamental aspect of improving quality of life of type 2 diabetics with peripheral neuropathy (32).…”

Background and objectives: Studies have shown that exercise can affect hormone secretion and some metabolic and endocrine functions. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training on thyroid hormones and quality of life in obese postmenopausal women. Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 21 obese (body mass index >30 Kg/m 2) women aged between 35 and 45 were randomly divided into an experimental (n=10) group and a control group (n=11). The subjects in the experimental group performed 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise at 65-75% of maximum heart rate, three times a week, for eight weeks. Level of thyroid hormones and quality of life subscales were compared within and between the groups. Statistical analysis was performed at significance level of 0.05. Results: After the eight-week exercise program, thyroxine, triiodothyronine and thyrotropin releasing hormone levels increased significantly, and thyroid releasing hormone level decreased significantly (P=0.001). The exercise program also had significantly positive effects on quality of life and its occupational, sexual and emotional subscales in obese postmenopausal women. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise causes a significant increase in levels of thyroxine, triiodothyronine and thyrotropin releasing hormone and some subscales of quality of life. It also causes a significant decrease in thyroid releasing hormone level, which indicates the effect of exercise on hormone secretion.

“…Studies have found that exercise is an effective intervention for improving the quality of life in breast cancer survivors (McNeely et al, 2006). Aerobic exercise programs significantly improve the overall quality of life and physical functioning in breast cancer survivors (Murtezani et al, 2014). In the present study as well, we found that HEP can improve the quality of life of breast cancer survivors (Spector et al, 2014).…”

Background: Home Exercise Program is a mainstay of upper limb dysfunction prevention in breast cancer survivors. However, only subjective assessment instruments have been used until now in order to prove its effectiveness. In the present observational retrospective study, we assessed, for the first time, the effects of Home Exercise Program on the upper limb function of breast cancer survivors via tridimensional motion analysis. We also aimed to show that good upper extremity performance positively influenced the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. Methods: From the 2016 database of breast cancer survivors who underwent upper limb tridimensional motion analysis 1 and 3 months after modified radical mastectomy, we enrolled 15 patients who spontaneously refused to undergo the post-surgical 14-day Home Exercise Program (group A). In addition, 15 patients who were homogeneous to those of group A, but who agreed to normally undergo Home Exercise Program were selected from the same database, in order to compare upper limb performance (group B). The Constant-Murley, Brief Fatigue Inventory and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life scores during follow-up were analysed and compared. Results: Compared to those in group A, on tridimensional motion analysis, patients in group B showed a wider range of motion of the upper limb, with consequently better shoulder and elbow performance, lower incidence of lymphedema, minor fatigue, and better quality of life. Conclusions: We show objectively, by means of tridimensional motion analysis, that Home Exercise Program is an effective tool for preventing upper extremity dysfunction in breast

“…Furthermore, studies have verified that regular physical activity training and interventions are closely associated with better quality of life of cancer survivors. (Battaglini, Mills, & Phillips, 2014;Irwin et al, 2017;Murtezani et al, 2014;Siewierska et al, 2018;Zeng, Huang, Cheng, Zhou, & So, 2014). The American Cancer Society recommends moderate physical activity, according to The Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) (>600 MET-min/week), for at least 150 min per week to increase the physical activity level and benefit from cancer rehabilitation.…”

Aim To determine the effects of exercise training that was supported with follow‐up calls at home on the postoperative level of physical activity and quality of life of women with breast cancer. Methods The study was carried out with a quasi‐experimental design. Women who had underwent an axillary dissection and mastectomy and who were receiving ongoing chemotherapy treatment in the ambulatory unit of a university hospital were included in the study. Sixty‐two women were randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 31) or a control (n = 31) group. The women in the intervention group were given exercise training and then they were followed up by phone calls at home for 12 weeks in order to ensure the continuity of the exercises. Results At the end of the study, the number of “very active” individuals and the “total physical activity level” increased significantly in the intervention group but decreased significantly in the control group. In the intervention group, “future healthy function” in the functional area subscale significantly increased but “systematic therapy side‐effects,” “breast symptoms,” and “arm symptoms” in the symptom subscale increased significantly. Conclusion Exercise training that is supported with home follow‐up calls after surgery increases the level of physical activity, which then favorably relates with a good quality of life of women with breast cancer.
