Description
Macarena Artigas-Arias and co-authors ask whether breast cancer survivors gain as much from strength training as healthy women, in this 2024 study. Both groups were past menopause, when muscle mass and strength tend to fall. Weight training is known to help healthy women of this age, but evidence for survivors was mixed.
Thirteen healthy women and eleven survivors followed the same twelve-week whole-body weight program. Before and after, the team measured thigh muscle thickness, top lifting strength on several exercises, grip strength, and daily movement tasks. Both groups improved on every measure. No gap appeared between the groups on any outcome. The authors conclude that a structured strength program brings the same gains in muscle, strength, and physical performance whether or not a woman has had breast cancer.
