Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy of aerobic training on oxygen consumption and leukocytes count after chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Methods of evaluation (Measurement of the oxygen consumption (VO2Max) and the leukocytes count (LC). Forty breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with ages ranging from 35 to 55 years and suffering from cancer related fatigue, they were selected from the National Cancer Institute. They were divided into two groups. group (A) composed of 20 patients received the aerobic exercises and cycling (25 minutes session day after day for four successive months) in the form of walking 5 minutes at lowest speed on treadmill as warming up, active phase in the form of 15 minutes cycling and walking another 5 minutes at lowest speed on treadmill for the cooling down. group (B) received only chemotherapy. Measurements were conducted before starting the treatment as a first record, at the end of the second month as a second record and at the end of the fourth month of treatment as a third (final) record. Results showed that application of the aerobic training had a valuable improving effects in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy as evidenced by the highly significant increases in oxygen consumption (VO2Max) and leukocytes count LC
