Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar os efeitos de um programa de atividade física em variáveis físicas e psicológicas em mulheres com cancro da mama. A amostra foi constituída por 16 mulheres com cancro da mama, com idades compreendidas entre os 39 e os 76 anos (55,83 ± 9,33), residentes na província de Cáceres (Espanha). As participantes foram submetidas a um programa de atividade física supervisionado com sessões bissemanais, de 40 a 60 minutos, visando avaliar alterações na composição corporal e no bem-estar psicológico. No entanto, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas nas variáveis físicas, tendo apenas sido observado um tamanho de efeito pequeno no metabolismo basal, e na massa muscular esquelética, ainda que não tenha obtido significância estatística. Foram encontradas correlações positivas entre a regulação comportamental identificada e o bem-estar social, o que indica que as participantes conseguem identificar os benefícios da AF, e os mesmos beneficiam as suas interações sociais. Do mesmo modo foram encontradas correlações positivas entre o bem-estar físico, emocional e funcional. O programa de atividade física mostrou-se eficaz em aumentar a massa muscular esquelética e melhorar variáveis psicológicas, como bem-estar social, emocional e funcional, assim como aumentou a perceção de competência e autonomia das mulheres.
Abstract: This study investigated the effects of a physical activity program on physical and psychological variables in women with breast cancer. The sample consisted of 16 women with breast cancer who were between 39 and 76 years old (mean age: 55.83 ± 9.33) and lived in the province of Cáceres, Spain. Participants underwent a supervised physical activity program consisting of biweekly 40- to 60-minute sessions to assess changes in body composition and psychological well-being. However, no significant differences were found in physical variables, with only a small effect size observed in basal metabolism and skeletal muscle mass. This was not statistically significant. Positive correlations were found between behavioral regulation and social wellbeing, indicating that participants recognized the benefits of physical activity (PA) and that these benefits improved their social interactions. Similarly, positive correlations were found between physical, emotional, and functional well-being. The program effectively increased skeletal muscle mass and improved psychological variables, such as social, emotional, and functional well-being. It also increased the women's perception of competence and autonomy.
