Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a single-arm pre-post pilot study, to assess changes in weight, quality of life and cardiorespiratory fitness after a diet and physical activity intervention in breast cancer survivors and to asses possible relation between these changes.

Detailed Description: Aim: The present study assessed changes in weight, quality of life (QoL) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) during a diet and physical activity (PA) intervention in breast cancer (BC) survivors and investigated the possible relation between these changes. Methods: The intervention of this 12-week single-arm pre-post pilot study involved group-based sessions: one-hour weekly diet sessions delivered by a dietician and 75-minute bi-weekly PA sessions of moderate-to-high intensity led by PA monitors. This intervention, designed to promote weight loss, targeted overweight/obese women who had completed treatment less than six months before recruitment. CRF and QoL were assessed before and after the intervention and compared using paired t-tests. Linear regression models, including CRF variables, weight change and participants' characteristics, were used to assess the independent association between change in CRF and change in QoL.
