Summary

Studies suggest that physical activity and good nutrition can reduce the risk of developing a wide range of health problems. Side effects associated with cancer and its treatments may result in breast cancer survivors becoming less active or not eating a healthy diet. The purpose of this study is to see the effects that resistance training, diet changes, and vitamin D and calcium supplements have on fatigue, muscle weakness and wasting, and impaired physical functioning (poor balance and walking) in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. To be eligible for this study, a woman must be a nonsmoker, not have had her period for at least 12 months, and not be taking part in any structured physical activity more than two times a week.
