Effect of a 12-week exercise program on phase angle in women with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aims of this study were to analyze the effects of a 12-week exercise intervention on bioelectrical impedance analysis-derived phase angle (PhA), resistance (R), and reactance (Xc) in breast cancer survivors (BCS) and analyze the relationship between changes in bioelectrical impedance variables and changes in functional capacity and muscular strength.

Methods

This was a prospective cohort study. Potentially eligible patients were recruited from the Medical Oncology Unit of the hospital. Female BCS older than 18 years were offered to participate in the study if they had previously undergone surgery for their primary tumor and there was no evidence of recurrence at the time of recruitment. A 12-week exercise program including resistance and endurance training was pe
