Methodology: Systematic review of the literature according to the guidelines described in the PRISMA statement and the Cochrane Manual for conducting Systematic Reviews of Interventions version 5.1.0. The systematic search was carried out between the years 1990 and 2018.

Results: Results: All the evaluated studies included a population with breast cancer and evaluated the quality of life using different protocols.

Conclusion: Strength resistance training favors health status, psychological parameters, pain symptoms, physical functionality, sexual functionality and enjoyment, fatigue, mood, emotional health, cognitive health, body composition and physical capacity.
