Study Description

Brief Summary: This research study is evaluating the effects of two training programs (1. Walking, 2. Mindfulness and Self-compassion focussed Walking) on tumor-specific symptoms of fatigue in women with breast cancer undergoing chemo- and/or radiotherapy.

Detailed Description: This randomized research study is evaluating the effects of two training programs (1. Walking, 2. Mindfulness and Self-compassion focussed Walking (MSCW)) on tumor-specific symptoms of fatigue in women with breast cancer undergoing chemo- and/or radiotherapy. The results of both groups are compared with each other and with those of a control group. The MSCW program combines endurance based physical activity in the form of medically controlled walking, as well as standardized, evidence-based mindfulness exercise elements in a training program. The participants of both active groups (Walking and MSCW) practice for 12 weeks, once a week for 60 minutes under the guidance of a trainer in a group and 2 additional times (60 minutes each) independently at home. The purpose of this study is to prevent a sharp decline in quality of life due to fatigue symptoms by participating in the MSCW training program. A total of 135 participants will be included in the study. All participants are followed for 1 year.
