NCT04679090 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: University Brunswick
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 20
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 3

Brief Summary

The main objective of our project is to describe what characteristics (e.g., age, current physical activity level) women present when starting the exercise program are potentially associated with an improvement in functional abilities measured with different tests such as the distance you can cover while walking for six minutes.

Conditions

Breast Cancer
