- A single bout of resistance training (RT) or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) increases anti-cancer myokines in breast cancer survivors.
- Both RT and HIIT significantly increased levels of decorin, IL-6, and SPARC immediately post-exercise.
- IL-6 remained elevated 30 minutes post-exercise in both groups, while OSM levels increased only in the RT group.
- Cancer cell growth (MDA-MB-231) was significantly reduced post-exercise in both RT (20-21%) and HIIT (19-29%) groups.
- HIIT showed a greater reduction in cancer cell growth compared to RT immediately post-exercise.
- The study highlights the potential of exercise to lower breast cancer recurrence risk through anti-cancer effects.
