N2 - Purpose: The objective of this investigation was to compare the acute hemodynamic responses during single-leg knee extension (SLKE) exercise between female breast cancer (BC) survivors previously treated with anthracycline chemotherapy and age- and sex-matched control (CON) subjects. Methods: Fourteen BC survivors (age: 61 ± 7 yr; time post-anthracycline therapy: 12 ± 6 yr) and nine CON subjects (age: 59 ± 7 yr) performed SLKE exercise at 25%, 50%, and 75% of peak power output during which heart rate, blood pressure (BP), leg blood flow (Doppler ultrasonography), and vascular conductance (leg blood flow/mean BP) were measured. Quadriceps mass was estimated from thigh volume and skinfold measures. Results: Breast cancer survivors had lower quadriceps mass compared with CON subjects (1803 ± 607 vs 2601 ± 1102 g, P = .04). No difference was found between groups for maximal SLKE power output (28 ± 11 vs 34 ± 17 W, P = .35), heart rate (109 ± 14 vs 103 ± 13 bpm, P = .36), or mean arterial BP (122 ± 18 vs 119 ± 26 mm Hg, P = .33). Rest and submaximal exercise mean arterial BP, leg blood flow (indexed to quadriceps muscle mass), and leg vascular conductance were not significantly different between BC survivors and CON subjects. Conclusion: Leg blood flow during submaximal SLKE exercise is preserved in long-term BC survivors previously treated with anthracycline chemotherapy.
