Exercise to Improve Neurovascular Function in Breast Cancer Survivors

Participants randomised to the CORE programme will receive exercise training that is analogous to cardiac rehabilitation, but Exercise Physiologists will individualise each training program using the participants baseline CPET results to maximise adherence and improve the effectiveness of the training program beyond typical cardiac rehabilitation programs. An Exercise Physiologist will supervise two training sessions a week and monitor adherence to one other independent session at home each week for the first 12 weeks of the training program whilst exercise frequency, intensity, and time is progressively increased. Supervision of the exercise training will then be stepped down gradually after 12 weeks to a fortnightly check-in to encourage intervention adherence. Patients will be provided with a training calendar and objective tools for tracking physical activity (e.g. heart rate monitor and diary). Adherence will be monitored in real-time using a research web-based platform.
