Key Points Changes in biomarkers reflecting inflammation and insulin‐related pathways help to explain why resistance exercises are beneficial for survivors of breast cancer, and should be safely added to stretching and aerobics routines. In addition to fitness measures, resistance exercises also may improve mood, sleep, and other quality‐of‐life measures.
