Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of twelve weeks of aerobic exercise program on erythrocyte levels in women with breast cancer after chemotherapy.

Methods: Thirty women with breast cancer after chemotherapy of Sydalshhda hospital (aged between 47-65 years) volunteered for this study, and then randomly selected an exercise (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. Exercise group completed a twelve-week aerobic exercise training program consisted of three sessions per week, each session lasting 30 to 60 minutes 50 to 75 percent of their maximum heart rate reserve, while the control group were followed. Blood samples including red blood cell counts (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (HB), peak oxygen consumption before and after 12 weeks of aerobic exercise were measured. For analysis of data, repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used.
