Recruiting

• Conditions: Breast Cancer Female; Muscle Weakness; Breast Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT06395506
• Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston

Brief Summary

The study's purpose is to evaluate whether creatine supplementation can help breast cancer survivors respond quicker to exercise by improving strength, endurance, and body composition. We are seeking to compare information collected from healthy woman of the same age who have never had breast cancer to those participants who have had breast cancer and undergone chemotherapy treatment.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of creatine supplementation in modulating strength and physical function in breast cancer survivors that have recently completed chemotherapy. The primary objective is to determine the effects of creatine in modulating strength and physical function in cancer survivors.
