Lymphatic Response to Resistance Exercise in Breast Cancer Survivors
Sponsor: University of Malaga
Summary
The objective of this study is 1) to study the acute and chronic effect of resistance therapeutic physical exercise (RTPE) in the prevention of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) in breast cancer survivors at risk using variables related to the lymphatic response; 2) Study the possible relationship between changes in body composition at a local and regional level and volume changes produced by RTPE in patients at risk of suffering from BCRL.

Interventions
Resistance Therapeutic Exercise
Strength exercises will be aimed at large muscle groups, such as the shoulder, chest, back and also muscle groups of the lower extremities. In the initial 2 weeks, intervention will start with low intensities of around 55-65% of 1RM, which allows to perform around 15-20 repetitions. The first week there will be performed 2 series, while in the second week it will be 3 series. Moderate intensity in the 2nd week, corresponding to 65-75% of 1RM and allowing for around 8-12 repetitions. 3 series will be maintained throughout this period of time.In addition to the progressive change in intensity, throughout the intervention the load will be increased by 5-10% when the patient performs the exercise too easily or when they can perform more repetitions than estimated. Rest between sets will be 2-3 minutes.
