Summary/Abstract: Breast cancer is a most frequently appearing malignant tumour disease in women. The process of its diagnosis, treatment and recovery is demanding, stressful and complex. However, it could become an important turning point of life, which might bring changes in the lifestyle. Affected patients can change the way they accept themselves and treat their life and health. Our current study introduces intervention exercise programmes designated for women suffering from breast cancer, which is due for becoming a part of an e-book set up by lectures at Masaryk University. The goal of this online publication is to support the women with this diagnosis to return actively into full life.
