Resistance training in breast cancer patients undergoing primary treatment: a systematic review and meta-regression of exercise dosage.

CONCLUSION: Low volume resistance training might be a suitable exercise recommendation for breast cancer patients undergoing primary treatment producing superior benefits for muscle strength compared to higher volume training, regardless of the training intensity. Low volume resistance training may provide a conservative and appropriate approach for breast cancer patients, allowing gradual progression and modification throughout the exercise program.
