Patterns and influencing factors of exercise attendance of breast cancer patients during neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Performing 2-3 exercise sessions/week may relieve therapy-related side effects of breast cancer patients (BRCA) and improve their quality of life. However, attendance to the exercise sessions is often impaired. Thus, we investigated patterns and possible influencing factors of attendance to an aerobic (AT) or resistance training (RT) intervention in BRCA during neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods

BRCA (N = 122) were randomly allocated to supervised AT or RT twice weekly during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (18 ± 4 weeks). Attendance was calculated individually and group-wise per training week as the percentage of the performed sessions out of the prescribed sessions. Possible influencing factors were investigated using multiple regression analyses.
