Low-frequency exercise training improves cardiovascular fitness and strength during treatment for breast cancer: a single-arm intervention study

Abstract Aerobic and resistance exercise during and after cancer treatment are important for health-related outcomes, however treatment-specific barriers may inhibit adherence. We explored the effect of lower-frequency exercise training on fitness, body composition, and metabolic markers (i.e. gluco...
