Objective: Most modern breast cancer treatments are shown to be effective in terms of survival but lead to side effects such as dysfunction of the upper
limb, lymphedema, pain syndrome, plexitis, ardiotoxicity, fatigue, and pulmonary complications. Applied radiotherapy enhances the number of sideсardiotoxicity, fatigue, and pulmonary complications. Applied radiotherapy enhances the number of side
effects that patients with breast cancer experience over a long period. The aim of this study was to compare effectiveness of Hatha Yoga and Pilates
interventions on respiratory function in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: 95 women completed the interventions and were included in the final analysis. The participants, staged I-II, were randomly assigned to 2
groups. Group A (n = 48, 57.53 ± 1.92 years) received Hatha Yoga intervention and group B (n = 47, 58.00 ± 1.27 years) received Pilates intervention.
Both programs were conducted for 12 weeks, with three 60-min sessions per week. Spirometry was used to measure pre- and post-intervention
functional capacity of the respiratory system.
Results: Significant differences (p0,05)
Conclusions: Hatha Yoga and Pilates interventions are both effective in respiratory function, but Hatha Yoga turns out more beneficial.
