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 study is testing whether a 12-week exercise training program can help older breast cancer survivors recover their strength and protect their heart health. Some chemotherapy medications used to treat breast cancer—like anthracycline-based chemotherapy or trastuzumab-based therapy—can sometimes weaken the heart and reduce your ability to exercise over time. This trial wants to see if structured exercise can reverse those effects and help you feel stronger and healthier.
Breast cancer survivors who received certain chemotherapy drugs are at higher risk for heart problems and loss of physical fitness as they age, but exercise training is not routinely offered to help them recover. This study exists to find out whether a supervised exercise program can protect and improve heart function in this group.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two programs for 12 weeks. If you are in the exercise group, you will attend 3 supervised exercise sessions per week, which include aerobic exercise (like treadmill or cycling) and weight training tailored to your fitness level. If you are in the comparison group, you will do stretching and yoga instead. Either way, you will have tests before and after to measure your heart function, muscle strength, and fitness level.
