Abstract

Introduction: Despite the increase of the survival of patients with breast cancer, many persist with anxiety, depression, fatigue, and pain even after anticancer treatment, factors associated with a worse quality-of-life. Objective: Evaluate the influence of combined training on anxiety, depression, pain and fatigue in breast cancer patients. Method: Randomized controlled trial with 26 patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or clinical follow-up at a referral centre for cancer treatment, aged 30 to 59 years, not practicing physical training in the last three months. The experimental group (EG) (n=13) was submitted to 3 sessions per week of aerobic and resistance training, for 12 weeks, lasting 60 minutes, and 2 sessions per week of flexibility training lasting 20 seconds in 3 sets. The control group (CG) (n=13) submitted only to conventional hospital treatment. All assessments were performed at baseline and after 12 weeks. Results: EG patients showed a significant reduction in anxiety (p=0.0242), pain intensity (p=0.0290) and the behavioral dimension of fatigue (0.0033). No differences were observed in depression (p=0.0803), interference of pain in usual activities (p=0.0933) and affective (p=0.0583) and sensory/cognitive/emotional (p=0.5525) dimensions of fatigue. The GC remained unchanged in all variables. Conclusion: Combined training involving aerobic, resistance and flexibility exercises for 12 weeks has beneficial effects on anxiety, fatigue and pain in breast cancer patients.
