The aim of this study was to determine whether a rowing training program leads to improvements in physical fitness and body composition in women who have survived breast cancer (53.70 ± 7.88 years). The participants (n = 30) completed a twelve-week training program consisting of three sessions per week, with each session lasting from sixty to ninety minutes. An anthropometric and general physical fitness assessment was performed before and after the program. The results showed statistically significant improvements in all the physical fitness tests performed: sit and reach (2.82 cm); back scratch, dominant (3.29 cm); back scratch, non-dominant (4.59 cm); counter movement jump (1.91 cm); hand grip, dominant (2.54 kgf); hand grip, non-dominant (2.53 kgf); chair stand (2.56 rep); and six-minute walk (51.56 m). In addition, a significant improvement was observed in the efficiency of the cardiovascular system measured by heart rate, in beats per minute (bpm), both before (-12.63 bpm) and after the six-minute walk test (-11.46 bpm). The evaluated body composition parameters also improved, specifically total lean mass (2.18 kg) and the percentage of total body fat (-2.63%). We can therefore conclude that rowing training programs can be a strategy to be considered for improving physical fitness in this population given the improvement obtained in both anthropometric and physical fitness variables, thus leading to better health and quality of life.
本研究旨在确定划船训练计划是否能改善乳腺癌幸存者（53.70 ± 7.88 岁）的身体健康和身体成分。30 名参与者完成了为期 12 周的训练计划，每周 3 次，每次 60 至 90 分钟。在计划前后进行了人体测量和一般身体适应性评估。结果表明，所有进行的身体适应性测试都有统计学上的显著改善：坐立前伸（2.82 厘米）；背部抓挠，优势手（3.29 厘米）；背部抓挠，非优势手（4.59 厘米）；反向动作跳（1.91 厘米）；优势手握力（2.54 千克力）；非优势手握力（2.53 千克力）；坐站起（2.56 次）；以及 6 分钟步行（51.56 米）。此外，通过心率（每分钟跳动次数）测量的心血管系统效率也有显著提高，在 6 分钟步行测试前后分别降低了 12.63 次/分钟和 11.46 次/分钟。评估的身体成分参数也有所改善，特别是总瘦体重（2.18 千克）和体脂肪百分比（-2.63%）。因此，我们可以得出结论，划船训练计划可以成为改善该人群身体健康的一种策略，因为在人体测量和身体适应性变量方面都有所改善，从而提高了健康和生活质量。
