Resistance Training and Protein for Breast Cancer During Chemotherapy

This study is looking at how resistance training (strength exercises) and different amounts of whey protein (20 grams or 60 grams) after workouts might help women with breast cancer during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (treatment before surgery). Researchers want to see if these interventions can improve your body composition, specifically by changing your muscle and fat mass. You may be able to join if you are a woman between 20 and 89 years old, have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The main goal is to measure changes in muscle and fat mass by the end of your chemotherapy treatment. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 30 women. The specific phase of the study is not mentioned.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Changes in muscle and fat mass will be measured at the completion of chemotherapy, within 4 weeks of exercise completion.
