ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how aerobic exercises can affect the levels of important minerals, like Zinc, Copper, and Iron, in post-menopausal women who have survived breast cancer and received radiotherapy. The study will involve 28 women aged between 50 and 60 years. Researchers want to see if these exercises can not only improve the women's quality of life but also help balance their trace element levels after treatment.

To participate, women must be post-menopausal breast cancer survivors who completed radiotherapy within the last year for early-stage breast cancer. They should be generally healthy and able to participate in the exercises. However, women with certain chronic diseases, cognitive issues, or who are professional athletes cannot join. Participants can expect to engage in aerobic exercises and undergo regular assessments to measure their health and mineral levels during the study. This trial is currently recruiting volunteers who meet the criteria.
