There is still no consensus on the most suitable interventions for exercise practice in breast cancer survivors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a two-year physical activity intervention (strength, aqua fitness and aerobic exercise programs) on the self-perceived quality of life and physical functionality of female breast cancer survivors. A randomized, controlled, experimental trial with a sample of 316 women (63 ± 7 years), who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The evaluations were performed using the Rikli & Jones Senior Fitness Test, and the Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12). The participants in the strength program showed statistically significant improvements in all the items of the SF-12. The aqua fitness program obtained significant improvements in Physical Functioning and Limitations, Pain and Emotional Limitations, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning and the physical and mental components of the SF-12. The participants in the aerobic program showed a progressive deterioration of Vitality and Mental Health. When assigning breast cancer survivors to an exercise program, the preferential or predominant activity should include strength exercises. On the other hand, as the second choice, those patients with particularly low levels of Vitality or Physical Limitations will show greater improvement with an aqua fitness program.
目前对于乳腺癌幸存者的运动实践，仍然没有形成共识。因此，本研究旨在评估为期两年的身体活动干预（力量、水中健身和有氧运动方案）对女性乳腺癌幸存者的自我感知生活质量和身体功能的影响。一项随机、对照、实验性试验，样本为 316 名女性（63±7 岁），她们被诊断患有乳腺癌。使用 Rikli 和 Jones 老年人健康测试以及简明健康调查 12 项量表（SF-12）进行评估。力量训练方案的参与者在 SF-12 的所有项目上均表现出统计学上的显著改善。水上健身方案在身体机能和活动受限、疼痛和情绪受限、一般健康、活力、社会功能以及 SF-12 的身体和心理成分方面获得了显著改善。有氧运动方案的参与者活力和心理健康呈现出逐渐恶化的趋势。在为乳腺癌幸存者分配运动方案时，首选或主要活动应包括力量练习。另一方面，对于活力或身体机能受限程度特别低的患者，水上健身方案将显示出更大的改善。
