RECRUITINGChange in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue score from baseline to Week 13 (end of exercise intervention).
Test the preliminary efficacy of a 12-week, home-based, unsupervised aerobic and resistance training exercise program on changes in cancer-related fatigue, in patients with a diagnosis of locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic breast cancer and patients with High-Risk HER 2+ breast cancer after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy who are receiving Enhertu therapy. FACIT Fatigue Scored 0 (not at all)- 4(Very Much).
Time frame: 13 weeks
Feasibility defined as greater than 75% of all participants completing greater than 66% of all prescribed workouts from baseline to Week 13.
Test the feasibility of the tested 12-week, home-based, unsupervised aerobic and resistance training exercise program.
Time frame: 13 weeks
Mean Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue score measured every three weeks from baseline to Week 13.
Compare the trajectory of cancer-related fatigue from baseline to Week 13 between patients receiving the exercise intervention versus not. FACIT Fatigue Scored 0 (not at all)- 4 (Very Much).
Time frame: 13 weeks
