ABSTRACT: The treatment of breast cancer (BC) leaves emotional and functional
sequels affecting the quality of life (QOL) of the survivors. We aim to
investigate, intense exercises in the rehabilitation of BC survivors. Using the
systematic search model in the PubMed databases; Lilacs Bireme and Scielo.
Meta-Analysis used the Meta package
implemented in software R (version 3.3.2) p , we
excluded 27 texts being included in the meta-analysis only 2. In the QOL, the
heterogeneity in the emotional function showed a difference of 75%, in the
social function 36% and in the physics 32%. Using intense exercises in BC
survivors during rehabilitation improves overall QOL, muscle structure, and
preserves functional capacity.
