N2  - Purpose: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a program of exercise in  increasing Bone mineral density in women who receiving aromatase inhibitors  as a hormonal therapy post mastectomy to prevent recurrence of the cancer of  breast. This purpose was achieved by assessing of changes in BMD by  measuring T-score using Dual energy X {u2013} ray absorption metry (DEXE) device.  Methods: 40femalepatientswho receiving aromatase inhibitors as a hormonal  therapy post mastectomy with ages ranging from 45-55 years old were divided  into two groups. Group (A) received a program of exercise (45 minutes) day  after day for 4 successive months. Group (B) not received that program of  exercise. Results: Result showed that no significant difference between both  groups pre-treatment regarding age, height, weight, BMI and T-score. Post  treatment values revealed that significant difference between both groups  regarding T-score with 26.53%percentage of improvement in Group (A) and  4.59%percentage of improvement in Group (B). Conclusion: Program of  moderate intensity weight bearing and strengthening exercise (45 minutes)  repeated day after day for 4 successive months can be considered as an effective  method to enhance the BMD in women receiving hormonal therapy post  mastectomy
