Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to verify the effects of physical exercise using telehealth on the cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ten physically active women (56.30 ± 14.00 years) participating in a university extension program and diagnosed with breast cancer between stages I-III (5.65 ± 2.19 years of diagnosis) were included in the study. Physical exercise program was carried out with supervision through video call for 12 weeks with two 30-minutes sessions per week on non-consecutive days. The training sessions consisted of joint mobility, strength, aerobic and balance exercises, and were modified every three weeks. The cancer-related fatigue was measured pre and post 12 weeks of intervention by the Piper Fatigue Scale through a telephone call. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon non-parametric test. The results showed values ​​of all domains of cancer-related fatigue (total fatigue: p = 0.463; behavioral: p = 0.655; affective: p = 0.593; sensory: p = 0.223; cognitive/mood: p = 0.141) statistically similar between pre and post intervention time points. It is concluded that after 12 weeks of a supervised physical exercise program using telehealth, during social distance due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the perception of fatigue in breast cancer survivors remained stable.
