Si bien 12 semanas de levantamiento de pesas son altamente efectivas para reconstruir la masa muscular y la fuerza en sobrevivientes, el estudio indica que las ganancias de fuerza por sí solas pueden no traducirse inmediatamente en mejores puntajes de calidad de vida.

Resumen original de la publicación

The EFICAN trial (2022) was a 12-week randomized controlled trial involving 60 female breast cancer survivors. The study compared supervised resistance training combined with a walking goal against a walking goal alone. Results showed that the resistance training group achieved large, significant increases in full-body strength, although aerobic fitness and quality of life metrics did not significantly differ between groups within the 12-week window.
