Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Cardiorespiratory fitness

    peak rate of oxygen consumption (ml/kg/min) reached during a graded treadmill exercise test until exhaustion

    Change from baseline to end of intervention (i.e., after 24 weeks)

  • muscle dynamic strength

    Time (seconds) to perform the sit-to-stand (STS) test (five consecutive repetitions of sitting down and uprising from a chair)

    Change from baseline to end of intervention (i.e., after 24 weeks)

  • handgrip strength

    handgrip strength measured using a dynamometer and scores recorded in kilograms (to the nearest 0.1 kg)

    Change from baseline to end of intervention (i.e., after 24 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Health-related quality of life (Breast Cancer-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire [QLQ-BR23])

    Change from baseline to end of intervention (i.e., after 24 weeks)

  • Body composition (fat mass)

    Change from baseline to end of intervention (i.e., after 24 weeks)

  • Body composition (lean body mass)

    Change from baseline to end of intervention (i.e., after 24 weeks)

Study Arms (2)

Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients in this arm will follow an exercise program for 24 weeks (i.e., during neo-adjuvant treatment), with two sessions per week including both aerobic and resistance training. Exercise intensity will range between 65% and 100% of the maximum score in the scale of Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE).

Other: Exercise training

Control

OTHER

The patients follow their usual habits as well as a Yoga program. They will also receive educational sessions on the benefits of regular physical activity (brisk walking).

Other: Control

Interventions

Exercise program for 24 weeks (with neo-adjuvant treatment), with two sessions per week including both moderate-to-intense aerobic and resistance training. The intensity of each type of exercise will range between 65% and 100% of the maximum score in the Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale.
