Breast Cancer
Conditions
Interventions
Longitudinal randomized controlled clinical trial with two virtual groups, Control Group (CG) and Telehealth Intervention Group (TIG), will be conducted, with a desired sample size of 125 women per gr
(ii) twice per week
(iii) lasting 45 to 60 minutes
(iv) supervised by physical education professionals experienced in this type of intervention
and (v) an intervention model previously tested in a cohort of women who have undergone breast cancer. The CG will not be exposed to the physical teleconditioning program during the 12-week period

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to identify a positive effect of a multicomponent teleheath physical conditioning program will have a positive effect on improving upper and lower limb muscular endurance, aerobic endurance, and flexibility in women who are breast cancer survivors, using a remote physical assessment method. The outcomes of the physical tests will be assessed based on the absolute number of repetitions in the muscular strength endurance and aerobic tests, as well as on the categorization of the fingertip-to-floor distance in the flexibility test | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to identify differences in sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors, barriers and facilitators, physical activity levels, and sedentary behavior among women who are breast cancer survivors from different regions of Brazil, using a remote survey method. Data will be analyzed using quantitative approaches, including absolute numbers and prevalence estimates. In addition, barriers and facilitators to physical activity practice will be categorized, with differences expected between regions, particularly in relation to climate/weather and the natural and built environments | — |
