ABSTRACT:
Chemotherapy is one of the treatments that breast cancer patients undergo. Chemotherapy slows and/or kills not just the cancer cells, but the healthy cells. Chemotherapy fatigue is one of the most common side effects that breast cancer survivor patients undergoing treatment face. Exercise is known to help increase energy, endorphins, and muscle strength, which can be lost during treatments. Physical activity and exercise like walking, resistance training, cardiovascular, stretching, yoga, and endurance training have a positive effect on the breast cancer survivor patients undergoing chemotherapy fatigue. The effects of exercise on chemotherapy fatigue will be further discussed in this presentation.
