Exercise to ReGain Stamina and Energy (The EXERGISE Study)

Summary

About 20%-70% of breast cancer survivors experience fatigue after cancer therapy. Because epidemiologic evidence shows that old age is a risk factor for fatigue in adults with cancer history, older breast cancer survivors suffer from even more fatigue than younger survivors. The purpose of this study is to test types of walking exercise interventions and their ability to reduce fatigue in older breast cancer survivors.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Center-Based Walking Exercise

Each exercise session will begin with a short warm-up followed by 30 min of walking. Participants will initially be instructed to walk at a moderate intensity, equivalent to a 5-6 on Borg category-ratio (CR) scale. Participants will be encouraged to, if possible, incorporate brief periods of vigorous walking (7-8 on CR10 scale) with a goal of achieving at least 10 min of vigorous walking per session.

BEHAVIORAL

Home-Based Walking Exercise

Participants will be asked to walk for exercise in their community five days/week. Participants will be instructed to begin with 10-15 minutes of walking exercise/session in the first month of the intervention and to increase exercise duration by five minutes/session each week, facilitating reasonable but steady progress toward the goal of 30 minutes per session.
