Abstract
Chemotherapy for breast cancer can negatively impact the heart, which can be detected by global longitudinal strain (GLS). However, it is not known if aerobic exercise can positively impact GLS and reduce the cardiovascular (CV) burden of chemotherapy. The aim of this PhD thesis was to explore the impact of exercise on GLS in women at risk of developing CV disease, and women receiving cardiotoxic chemotherapy for treatment of breast cancer, whilst also exploring ways exercise participation can be enhanced during chemotherapy for breast cancer. Findings provided novel insight into the ability of exercise to improve GLS in women at risk of developing CV disease, and the individual responses in CV function to exercise that occur during dose-dense anthracycline chemotherapy. Strategies for enhancing exercise participation during chemotherapy for breast cancer were identified and discussed.
