Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Aerobic Dance During Chemotherapy Improve Cognitive Function in Breast Cancer Patients？ * Does the efficacy of aerobic dance differ from fast walking of equal intensity？ Recruited patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: (1) aerobic dance group, (2) fast walking group, and (3) usual care group. The aerobic dance and fast-walking groups participated in supervised exercise lasting 50 minutes thrice a week for 12 weeks. The goal of this study's findings is to develop practical strategies for managing breast cancer-related cognitive impairment.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Fast-walkingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
50 minutes of moderate-intensity fast walking three times a week
Group II: Aerobic danceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
50 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic dance three times a week
Group III: Usual careActive Control1 Intervention
Maintain the usual lifestyle and receive medical treatment as normal as the rest of the group.After the baseline evaluation, participants in the control group are asked to maintain their regular lifestyle, including their level of physical activity, and to continue receiving medical treatment and care by standard procedures for 12 weeks. The control group did not receive any encouragement from the researcher to increase the time they spent exercising because, at the time of patient data collection, they were not routinely informed about the benefits of exercise during chemotherapy. Control patients were allowed to engage in the same experimental exercise condition after the 24-week study cycles; if they declined, the study would be stopped.
