- The study investigates the interference effect of combined resistance and aerobic exercise (COMB) versus resistance exercise (RE) alone in women with breast cancer.
- Both RE and COMB similarly reduce fatigue compared to controls, but RE shows greater benefits during surgery and chemotherapy.
- RE is superior to COMB in improving physical function, especially in patients receiving hormone therapy.
- No significant differences were found between RE and COMB in lean mass and muscle strength in main analyses, but sensitivity analyses favored RE.
- Personalized exercise medicine is emphasized, with RE alone potentially preferable to minimize interference effects on lean mass and muscle strength.
