NCT ID: NCT03284567 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 69 Completion: 2020-01-20
Conditions
Breast Neoplasm Female
Interventions
Football fitness
Summary
Late effects of breast cancer treatment are widely reported including deteriorating fitness, fatigue, loss of muscle and bone mass, and increased body fat percentage. Exercise interventions may ameliorate a number of these effects including fatigue, fitness and improve quality of life. However only limited knowledge exists on the potential of novel interventions and settings, such as sports outside the hospital setting, to improve late effects of breast cancer treatment. The 'Football Fitness After Breast Cancer' (FF ABC) study is a randomized trial comparing the effects of a football training intervention with standard treatment approaches on fitness, bone mineralization, body composition, muscle strength, blood pressure, and patient-reported outcomes in women treated for breast cancer.
Primary Outcome
Mean change in fitness level (maximal oxygen uptake) from baseline to month 6 and month 12.
