Abstract：
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common tumours and one of the leading causes of death among women in all parts of the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of Nordic walking on the functional capacity of women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer. Methods: The study involved a cohort of women who exercised through Nordic walking for 10 weeks (from March to May 2022). The subjects trained with a licenced instructor (INWA method), with two training sessions per week of 70-80 min each. We collected information on pain, arm mobility, hand grip strength, shoulder joint range of motion bilaterally, circumference of both arms, body mass index, physical activity, aerobic capacity, and endurance. Results: There were 14 women, median age 63. BMI was significantly lower (28.9/28.1; p = 0.013) after training and a difference in shoulder range of motion was better (anteflexion right (142.5/170, p = 0.002), retroflexion right (40/60, p = 0.005), abduction right (135/180, p = 0.005), abduction left (135/180, p = 0.005)). There was no difference in right hand strength, while there was a significant difference in left hand strength (19/20, p = 0.007). A correlation was found between BMI and the six-minute walk test (r = -0.70; p = 0.005). Conclusions: Considering the multidimensionality of the disease itself and the results of this study, we believe that Nordic walking is a favourable and good choice of physical activity for breast cancer patients.
摘要：
背景：乳腺癌是最常见的肿瘤之一，也是世界各地女性死亡的主要原因之一。这项研究的目的是调查北欧步行对乳腺癌手术女性功能能力的影响。方法：该研究涉及一组通过北欧步行运动10周（2022年3月至5月）的女性。受试者接受了有执照的教练（INWA方法）的培训，每周进行两次培训，每次70-80分钟。我们收集了有关疼痛的信息,手臂的机动性,手握力,肩关节两侧活动范围，双臂的周长，身体质量指数,身体活动,有氧能力，和耐力。结果：有14名女性，中位年龄63岁。训练后BMI明显降低（28.9/28.1;p=0.013），并且肩部活动范围的差异更好（右前屈（142.5/170，p=0.002），右后屈肌（40/60，p=0.005），右外展（135/180，p=0.005），向左外展（135/180，p=0.005）。右手力量没有差异，而左手力量有显着差异（19/20，p=0.007）。BMI与六分钟步行测试之间存在相关性（r=-0.70；p=0.005）。结论:考虑到疾病本身的多维性和本研究的结果,我们认为，北欧步行是乳腺癌患者体育锻炼的有利选择。
