HIIT Following Breast Cancer Chemotherapy
Sponsor: University of Florida
Summary
Chemotherapy is an effective breast cancer treatment, which helped to increase the 5-year survival rate to approximately 95%. However, breast cancer survivors have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to chemotherapy than adults without cancer. Cardiovascular rehabilitation can be an effective strategy to decrease the incidence of CVD and its risk factors in this population. The proposed study may help to examine the effect and durability of a novel high-intensity interval training compared to moderate-intensity continuous training on cardiovascular rehabilitation in breast cancer survivors.

Interventions
12-week Intervention Period
Research participants will be randomly assigned to either high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), or the usual care (UC) group for a 12-week intervention period.
12-week Observation Period
After a 12-week intervention period (HIIT, MICT, or UC), research participants will have a 12-week observation period to assess the durability of two types of different exercises.
