Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of aerobic exercise and resistive training on cardiovascular endurance following chemotherapy treatment. Methods: Three databases (2015-2023) were searched for studies including exercise interventions for women with breast cancer who are experiencing cardiotoxicity due to chemotherapy treatment yielding 122 studies; seven articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: Four studies suggest aerobic exercise can significantly improve cardiovascular fitness measures. Interventions including resistance training with aerobic exercise reported significant improvement in strength and endurance. Additionally, one study found significant improvements in cancer related fatigue. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate aerobic exercise is feasible and an effective intervention to improve cardiac function and fatigue
