Abstract

Aim: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women and causes many problems in this part of society, even after recovery. The purpose of this study was to compare effect of 12 weeks continues aerobic training (CAT) and interval aerobic training (IAT) on, functional capacity and body composition in women breast cancer survivors. Methods: 39 breast cancer survivors who were volunteers to participate in this study were divided in to three groups: 1- CAT (n= 13), 2- CAT (N= 14) and 3- control (n= 10). The two training groups performed their exercises for 12 weeks, three sessions per week. Before and after of training period functional capacity was assessed by muscle function test and body composition was measured by In-body devise in three groups in the same condition. For data analysis the ANCOVA was performed. Results: The results show that there were no significant differences in muscle function test, fat mass and fat percentage between the three groups(P>0.05). Muscle mass increased significantly after the training period in the IAT group and there was a significant difference between the IAT group and the other two groups(p < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, IAT may be a better choice than CAT to influence the muscle mass of breast cancer survivors. But both tow training methods have a limited effect on functional capacity, fat mass and fat percentage in breast cancer survivors, after 12 weeks of training period.
