Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer is considered the most common malignant neoplasm in the female population and its various treatments can bring physical, functional, psychological and physiological side effects that can be minimized with the exercise. Objective: To analyze the effects of strength training and / or aerobic post-treatment of breast cancer women. Results and discussion: Nine articles were analyzed in this systematic review, two of which showed benefits in cardiorespiratory and immune functions, five showed benefits on physical fitness and functional capacity of women survivors of breast cancer and the other two have shown that training strength does not worsen lymphedema in such public and is safe practice. Conclusion: It was found that both strength training and aerobic training proved beneficial when performed after any treatment, provided they are carried out carefully, with guidance and monitoring from a professional properly.
