Résumé

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. The treatments may also cause neuromuscular and skeletal disorders; therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the existence of a relationship between heart rate variability and different functional fitness parameters in women survivors of breast cancer. This cross-sectional study included 25 women survivors of breast cancer, with a mean ± SD age, height, and body mass of 50.8 ± 8.8 years, 1.6 ± 0.7 m, and 67.1 ± 12.3 kg, respectively. Patients underwent measurements of heart rate variability with time and frequency domain analyses, as well as a "30 s chair-stand test", "6 min walking test", "timed up and go test", and "ball throwing test". A multiple linear regression analysis showed that from the heart rate variability frequency domain, high frequency explained 21% (R The findings of this study highlight high frequency as a predictor of "30 s chair-stand test" performance, regardless of age and time after diagnosis, suggesting its usefulness as a clinical indicator of functionality in breast cancer survivors. This study presents a straightforward and non-invasive methodology predicting functional fitness in women breast cancer survivors potentially applicable to clinical practice.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. The treatments may also cause neuromuscular and skeletal disorders; therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the existence of a relationship between heart rate variability and different functional fitness parameters in women survivors of breast cancer.
METHODS METHODS
This cross-sectional study included 25 women survivors of breast cancer, with a mean ± SD age, height, and body mass of 50.8 ± 8.8 years, 1.6 ± 0.7 m, and 67.1 ± 12.3 kg, respectively. Patients underwent measurements of heart rate variability with time and frequency domain analyses, as well as a "30 s chair-stand test", "6 min walking test", "timed up and go test", and "ball throwing test".
RESULTS RESULTS
A multiple linear regression analysis showed that from the heart rate variability frequency domain, high frequency explained 21% (R
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The findings of this study highlight high frequency as a predictor of "30 s chair-stand test" performance, regardless of age and time after diagnosis, suggesting its usefulness as a clinical indicator of functionality in breast cancer survivors. This study presents a straightforward and non-invasive methodology predicting functional fitness in women breast cancer survivors potentially applicable to clinical practice.
