Exercise Therapy to Improve Cardiovascular Health in Post-Menopausal Women After Treatment for Early Stage Breast Cancer

Description

Prior to the initiation of every supervised aerobic training session, patient resting vital signs will be assessed to ensure the patient can safely proceed with the session. Vital signs, including resting heart rate and blood pressure, will be collected and monitored per ExOnc program guidelines. In addition, the planned session will not be initiated if the ExOnc staff member observes any concerns that may compromise participant safety and/or the integrity of the planned session. Vital sign monitoring guidelines for unsupervised sessions, prescribed at lower intensities, will be advised by the exercise physiologist at the time the session plan is provided to the patient. Patients will be instructed to not begin an unsupervised session if their resting heart rate or blood pressure is outside the recommended guidelines.
