Introduction: Physical training has become a critical variable in health, standing out as an essential tool in rehabilitation processes. Today, its implementation in therapeutic programs contributes significantly to improving quality of life, optimizing functional recovery, and mitigating side effects associated with various health conditions.
Objectives: To analyze current evidence on the effects of strength and endurance training in breast cancer rehabilitation, and to establish recommendations based on clinical practices and research findings.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus, using specific search terms and predefined inclusion criteria for studies published between 2018 and 2024.
Results: From 13 studies involving 1,395 female breast cancer survivors (average age 54.14 years), strength and endurance training was found to offer significant health benefits. The interventions improved muscle strength and quality of life, while reducing fatigue and depression. Positive effects were also observed on the immune system, cardiorespiratory capacity (VO₂max), and mobility, along with a reduction in lymphedema.
Conclusion: Strength and endurance training is an effective strategy to improve quality of life, energy levels, and mitigate treatment-related side effects in cancer patients. It is recommended to perform 2 to 3 sessions per week, lasting 30 to 60 minutes. Although protocols vary in intensity, sets, repetitions, and rest intervals, tailoring the exercise program to individual needs is crucial to optimize outcomes and ensure effective recovery.
