Official Title: Respiratory Muscle Training During Breast Cancer Treatment: Effects on the Autonomic Nervous System and Cardiotoxicity
Brief Summary:
This clinical trial evaluates whether home-based respiratory muscle training is useful for minimizing side effects in patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer.Over-activation of the nervous system during breast cancer treatment can result in heart- and lung-related side effects which have the potential to reduce a patient's quality of life.Aerobic exercise can help prevent the development of these side effects.However, engaging in regular aerobic exercise may be difficult for breast cancer patients who…
