Remotely Supervised Exercise During Chemotherapy in Women With Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Riga Stradins University
Summary
The RE-CARE project is designed to evaluate the effects of a 24-week, remotely supervised, combined high-intensity interval aerobic and resistance exercise training on physical health and quality of life in patients with breast cancer (BC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The study will enroll women aged 30-65 years with previously untreated, primary breast cancer, clinical stage IIA-IIB or IIIA-IIIC, who are scheduled to receive doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide-based NACT. Participants will be randomly allocated to either an experimental intervention group or a control group. At baseline, comprehensive assessments will be conducted to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness, physical endurance, muscle strength, cognitive function, and health-related quality of life. The primary objective is to determine the impact of the remotely supervised combined aerobic and resistance exercise on incidence and severity of NACT-related adverse effects in patients with BC.

Interventions
Intervention Group
The intervention group will receive remotely supervised sessions conducted by health professionals approximately three times per week for 24 weeks, ensuring no more than 48 hours elapse between two sessions. Individually customized aerobic high intensity interval and resistance training sessions will be carried out on alternating days using a smartwatch, heart rate monitor (polar H10 sensor), resistance bands with real-time monitoring sensors (bandcizer sensor), and the linked smartphone applications (Resistance Band Tracker and Polar Flow).
