Read our Breast Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing whether a personalized, virtual exercise program can help people with metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the breast) improve their heart and lung fitness. Half of the participants will work with an exercise trainer three times per week for 16 weeks via video, while the other half will receive their usual medical care. The study will measure whether the exercise program helps people feel stronger, have more energy, and improve their quality of life.
People with metastatic breast cancer often experience fatigue, weakness, and loss of muscle mass during their treatment. This study wants to know if a structured exercise program delivered safely online can help counteract these side effects and improve overall physical health and well-being.

If you are randomly assigned to the exercise group, you will meet with a trained exercise instructor online via video three times per week for 16 weeks. Each session lasts about 60 minutes and includes cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and stretching or balance work. The trainer will monitor your heart rate and adjust the intensity to keep you working at a safe, moderate level. If you are assigned to the usual care group, you will continue with your regular medical treatment without the structured exercise program. Throughout the study, you will complete fitness tests, answer questionnaires about your energy and quality of life, and wear a small device to track your physical activity.
