NCT00153894

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an exercise program comprised of strength and endurance training will lower fasting insulin levels in a group of breast cancer survivors. Insulin may be involved in the risk of breast cancer recurrence.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To determine whether strength and endurance training will lower fasting insulin levels in a group of breast cancer survivors.

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • To assess the compliance of a group of breast cancer survivors to a 16 week exercise intervention

    3 years
