Exercise is considered capable of optimizing the immune system and minimizing the side effects of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies in cancer (BC) survivors. Despite these findings, the effects of nonlinear resistance training (NLRT) on breast cancer (BC) survivors with lymphedema have not yet been elucidated. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks of NLRT, three times a week, on lipid and hormonal profiles, body composition and anthropometric indices, muscle strength and endurance, aerobic performance, and blood pressure (BP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in a BC survivor with lymphedema and hypothyroidism under hormonotherapy. A 43 years old female, diagnosed with an invasive ductal and triple positive (PR+ and RE+) BC thre... view more»
