| Resumo: | The aim of this study was to verify the changes induced by the multicomponent exercise program with duration of 12 weeks on quality of life in breast cancer survivors. The sample of this study consisted of 7 female subjects with an average of 64 (± 8.6) years who volunteered for this investigation and presented breast cancer pathology diagnosed in the clinical history. The exercise program had a duration of 12 consecutive weeks and a weekly frequency of three days. The duration of the exercise was 60 continuous minutes and the exercise used were from the multicomponent method, combining aerobic, resistance, flexibility and balance training. The variables of healthy-related quality of life questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23 were evaluated on the baseline and after 12 weeks. The data followed a descriptive and statistical analysis related to the results obtained in the various subscales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ- BR23 on the baseline and 12 weeks. From baseline to 12 weeks, the most increased values were 24 (± 16.5) points in the role function; 11 (± 5.3) in the emotional function. In the symptomatic scales, the most improved symptoms were fatigue with a reduction of 20 (± 3.5) points; 14 (± 3.8) in the pain scale, 16 (± 4.8) on breast symptoms, and 19 (± 10.9) points on arm symptoms. The results suggest that the multicomponent exercise program in this study didn ́t have significant differences on the health-related quality of life subscales in breast cancer survivors. |
