“…One of the greatest fears of BCS in relation to RT is the worsening of symptoms, or the exacerbation of lymphedema, which constitutes one of the most discussed topics in the selected literature [ 11 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 57 ]. The results of the studies on RT suggest that if there is control and progression in the training, considering the individuality of the participants, then there will be no increased risk or worsening of the symptoms or severity of lymphedema [ 13 , 15 ], regardless of the evaluation protocol, training program, or timing of intervention (during or after treatment).…”

It can be said that this type of training is safe, and that contrary to the general precept, lymphedema symptoms and exacerbation are not increased by this form of training [ 20 , 25 , 26 , 32 , 35 , 46 , 56 , 57 ].…”

The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of resistance training (RT) programs for breast cancer survivors (BCS). A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, the Cochrane Breast Cancer Specialised Register of the Cochrane Library, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), and Scopus, with the aim of identifying all published studies on RT and BCS from 1 January 1990 to 6 December 2019, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The risk of bias in the studies was assessed using the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2.0). Sixteen trials were included for qualitative analysis. More than half of the trials do not adequately report the characteristics that make up the exercise program. The maximal strength was the most frequently monitored manifestation of strength, evaluated mainly as one-repetition maximum (1RM). Resistance training was performed on strength-training machines, twice a week, using a load between 50% and 80% of 1RM. The trials reported significant improvement in muscle strength, fatigue, pain, quality of life, and minor changes in aerobic capacity.

“…However, increased fatigue due to a rapid increase in the level of activity may lower the immunity in patients with cancer, so care must be taken during exercise [24]. In addition, patients with breast cancer tend to lose muscle strength because of changes in body composition during anticancer treatment; resistance exercise has a positive effect on maintaining body composition and strength [25], indicating that breast cancer survivors need to participate in various modalities of exercise to further reduce cancer-related risk factors and prevent concurrent diseases.…”

This study aimed to examine the relationships between activity restriction, quality of life (QoL), and hematopoietic profile in breast cancer survivors according to exercise modality. The subjects in this study were 187 female breast cancer survivors among a total of 32,631 participants in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted from 2016 to 2018. The selected subjects participated in a questionnaire survey and blood analysis. A cross-analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between participation in various modality of exercise (e.g., aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, walking exercise). The phi coefficients or Cramer’s V value for activity restriction and QoL were calculated; an independent t-test was conducted to evaluate the differences between hematopoietic profiles based on the modality of exercise. Statistically significant correlations were seen between obesity and aerobic exercise and walking frequency, as well as between diabetes and aerobic exercise and activity restriction. With respect to QoL, there was a statistically significant correlation between participation in aerobic exercise and exercise ability, participation in aerobic exercise and anxiety/depression, participation in resistance exercise and subjective health status, participation in resistance exercise and exercise ability, and participation in weekly walking exercise and self-care ability. Regarding hemodynamic changes, red blood cells increased significantly in breast cancer survivors who participated in weekly resistance exercise compared to in those who did not. In conclusion, exercise participation had a positive effect on activity restriction, QoL, and hematopoietic profile in breast cancer survivors; in particular, some modalities of aerobic exercise were more effective.

“…They detected notable barriers towards regular physical activity in this group of migrants suffering from breast cancer, and therefore suggest to further address these barriers in order to plan and implement physical activity interventions [5]. By systematically reviewing the relevant scientific literature, Hasenoehrl et al were able to evaluate that strength exercise seems not to have any negative effects on lymphedema status or might not increase the risk of development of (a new) lymphedema in breast cancer patients [6]. In their systematic review, Palma et al focused on the noninvasive evaluation of autonomic dysfunction in cancer patients by using heart rate variability (HRV).…”
