Resistance Training, Fatigue, Quality of Life, Anxiety in Breast Cancer Survivors

This paper is noteworthy in that the researchers report a single resistance training session each week for 8 weeks produced meaningful improvements in physical functioning (+27%, p = 0.027); physical role functioning (+54%, p = 0.008); emotional role functioning (+42%, p = 0.027); and mental health (+16%, p = 0.032). Furthermore, RT improved fatigue levels (−55%, p = 0.001 for general fatigue) and anxiety (anxiety state, −19%, p = 0.012; anxiety trait, −23%, p = 0.001).
