Objective:
The purpose of this research intended to determine the impact of an multi-component exercise program on body composition and physical, emotional and social well being (PWB, EWB,SWB) in breast cancer survivors (BCS). Methods: One hundred and thirty two eight women with BC were enrolled in this research based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomized into group A and B. Group A received breast cancer (BC) support group therapy whereas group B received multi-component exercise program. Waist Hip ratio (WHR), Body Mass Index (BMI), Circumference measurement and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Breast (FACT-B) scale were employed as outcome measures. To validate the outcomes, pre- and post-assessments of the mentioned measures were conducted. Statistical evaluation was conducted with SPSS statistical software (version 26.0).
Results:
The findings revealed considerable improvement among the group for homolateral and contralateral arm and forearm, right and left thigh and right and left leg circumference (p=0.0087,0.0162, 0.0061, 0.0048, 0.0266,0.0142,0.0364, 0.0021), FACT-B (p=0.008, 0.002, 0.007,0.01,0.001,<0.0001), conversely no significant enhancement was observed for BMI (p=0.743) and WHR (p=0.6614) of patients undergoing multi-component exercise as compared to other group. Also, significant improvement between the groups was observed for circumference(0.0478,0.0305,0.0279,0.0240,0.0374,0.0293,0.0420,0.0334,0.0449,0.0260,0.0412 ,0.0160,0.0454,0.0324,0.0375,0.0214), FACT-B (0.51, 0.045, 0.313, 0.238, 0.593, 0.049, 0.405, <0.0001, 0.190, 0.015,0.131,0.176,0.006,<0.0001), conversely no significant enhancement was observed for BMI (p=0.9634, 0.364), WHR (p=0.988, 0.915) at post treatment 6 month and 1 year.
Conclusion:
The study concluded that multi-component exercise program had shown a significant effect on body composition and PWB, EWB, SWB among BCS.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
