Abstract

There is limited evidence regarding the effect of circuit-type low-intensity resistance exercise on physical fitness and blood parameters in breast cancer survivors (BCSs). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of low-intensity circuit resistance exercise on changes in physical fitness and blood parameters in BCSs. A total of 16 BCSs participated in a low-intensity circuit resistance exercise group (LCREG). The exercise program in the LCREG consisted of 50-60% of one repetition maximum, two to three times weekly, for 24 weeks. The control group (CG) did not receive any interventions. All participants were measured for physical fitness and blood parameters before and after the exercise intervention. The results showed that LCREG significantly improved body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.012), grip strength (p = 0.017), back strength (p = 0.042), plank (p = 0.036), balance (p = 0.030), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) (p = 0.050), total cholesterol (p = 0.017), and natural killer cell activity (NKCA) (p = 0.035) after exercise compared to before exercise. The LCREG also significantly improved BMI (p = 0.001), grip strength (p = 0.014), plank (p = 0.018), balance (p = 0.012), LDL (p = 0.024), total cholesterol (p = 0.012), and NKCA (p = 0.036) compared to the CG. These findings suggest that low-intensity circuit resistance exercise can increase physical fitness levels and improve the blood index in BCSs.

参加低强度循环阻力运动项目的乳腺癌幸存者的体能和血液指标结果。

关于循环型低强度阻力运动对乳腺癌幸存者（BCSs）体能和血液指标的影响，目前证据有限。因此，本研究旨在探讨低强度循环阻力运动对乳腺癌幸存者体能和血液指标变化的影响。共有 16 名乳腺癌幸存者参加了低强度循环阻力运动组（LCREG）。低强度循环阻力运动组的运动项目包括50%-60%的单次最大重复次数，每周2-3次，持续24周。对照组（CG）不接受任何干预。在运动干预前后，对所有参与者的体能和血液参数进行了测量。结果显示，与运动前相比，LCREG 在运动后显著改善了体重指数（BMI）（p = 0.012）、握力（p = 0.017）、背力（p = 0.042）、平板支撑（p = 0.036）、平衡（p = 0.030）、低密度脂蛋白（LDL）（p = 0.050）、总胆固醇（p = 0.017）和自然杀伤细胞活性（NKCA）（p = 0.035）。与 CG 相比，LCREG 还能明显改善 BMI（p = 0.001）、握力（p = 0.014）、平板支撑（p = 0.018）、平衡（p = 0.012）、低密度脂蛋白（p = 0.024）、总胆固醇（p = 0.012）和 NKCA（p = 0.036）。这些研究结果表明，低强度循环阻力运动可以提高 BCS 的体能水平并改善血液指数。
