Participants in the intervention group will practice soccer for 52 weeks two times weekly. A soccer instructor will be in charge of all training sessions. The training will consist of 30 min of warm-up exercises (running, dribbling, passing, shooting, balance and muscle strength exercises), followed by 2 x 15 minutes of 4-7 a-side games.

Training will take place on a natural grass pitch. In adverse weather conditions (i.e., \< 5°C or heavy rain) training will be performed indoors. Participants will be told to avoid hard tackles and other actions that carry a risk of injury.

Participants in the control group will receive verbal advice about the benefits of exercise and physical activity.

Football fitness

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.

1/3 of participants will be randomly allocated to the control group and 2/3 of participants will be randomly allocated to the Football fitness intervention group.

Personnel assessing the primary outcome is blinded for study participants group allocation.

Football Fitness After Breast Cancer

A Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate the Health Promoting Effects of a Football Fitness Intervention for Women After Treatment for Breast Cancer

Incremental test to exhaustion on a cycle ergometer.

Assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.

Body weight was measured with a digital platform scale.

Dynamic concentric muscle strength for the knee extensors (1RM).

Blood pressure will be measured with a digital sphygmomanometer.

Procollagen type I C propeptide, osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide will be analyzed by a chemiluminescence method using a fully automated immunoassay system (iSYS, Immunodiagnostic Systems Ltd., Boldon, England.

Blood samples will be analyzed at baseline, 6 and 12 month for total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and glycosylated hemoglobin, respectively, by automated analyzers (Cobas Fara, Roche, Neuilly sur Seine, France) using enzymatic kits (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany, and Tosoh G7, Tosoh Europe, Tessenderlo, Belgium).

Assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).

Assessed by the supplement EORTC QLQ-BR23.

Assessed by the 15 subscales of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30).

Assessed by disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH).

Assessed by The Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36)
