Encarnação, Samuel; Schneider, André; Encarnação, Roberto Gonçalves; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Forte, Pedro; Fernandes, Hélder; Monteiro, António M.Multicomponent training is suggested as an efficient way to address the side effects of long-term treatment in breast cancer survivors and reduce the age-related relapse risk in these patients. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multicomponent training intervention on breast cancer survivors’ physical fitness and body composition. This experimental and controlled study included 19 breast cancer surviv...
