A study* by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) found Breast Cancer patients who receive chemotherapy as part of treatment can present with an increase in chemotherapy-led inflammation within the body.

The ACSM completed a study to see how completing resistance training and High Intensity Interval training (HIIT) might help effects of symptoms.

Findings: completing resistance training and some high intensity aerobic activity resulted in a reduction in fatigue post-intervention/exercise.

In some cases, fatigue was reduced by up to 32%.
