dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Over the past few years there has been an increase in the number of breast cancer survivors, which implies living with the chronic implications resulting from the treatment. These complications harm the function, participation, and quality of life of this population. The development of lymphedema (LE) is one of the main complications and concerns that arise from breast cancer treatment and therefore it is crucial to understand the best way to prevent and treat its development. Scientific evidence suggests that LE prevention involves promoting active and healthy lifestyles by changing behaviors and controlling changeable risk factors. Practicing physical activity (PA) brings various clinical benefits, which are effective, safe, and viable in controlling complications after breast cancer treatments, as well as improving the function and quality of life of the population being studied. In general, greater benefits were demonstrated for women with increased physical activity levels, with a moderate PA (3-6 MET) considered feasible and sufficient to improve the prognosis of these patients (International Society of Lymphology, 2020). On the other hand, this population has a reduced tendency to change their lifestyle and do PA. In this regard, it becomes relevant to conduct a study that characterizes the physical exercise habits of Portuguese women who survived breast cancer with LE. Objectives: Study the relationship between physical activity (PA) with grip strength and lymphedema volume in female breast cancer survivors. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted, with a convenience sample. Women who survived breast cancer between 1 and 5 years after surgery were selected and women with bilateral surgery and who have not finished the active phase of the treatments were excluded.pt_PT
