To evaluate the impact of different types of physical activity on life satisfaction, acceptance of illness and adaptation to breast cancer among women after treatment.
Women after treatment of breast cancer had high awareness of the impact of physical activity on recovery. The study subgroup of women who were most active had a better strategy of fighting spirit. Among many types of physical activity, tourist trips and dance were the most important for quality of life. Physical activity seemed to be profitable also for the subgroup outside the Breast Cancer Survivors’ Club.
