Twelve post-surgical breast cancer\n                    survivors performed progressive UBP assessments with each arm up to\n                    one-repetition maximum (1RM) to determine individual load\u2013velocity profiles.\n                    Mean propulsive velocity and mean velocity were modelled against%1RM using\n                    second-order polynomial regressions. In separate sessions, participants\n                    performed two sets per arm at 60\u201380% 1RM until reaching 40% VL. Repetition\n                    counts were compared between limbs. Strong associations were observed between\n                    velocity metrics and%1RM on both the operated and non-operated sides\n                        (R\n               2\u22650.92). Differences in velocity at matched relative\n                    loads were trivial (\u2264\u20090.01 m\/s, p\u22650.448). The number of repetitions\n                    performed until reaching the VL threshold did not significantly differ between\n                    limbs (\u2264\u20093 repetitions, p\u22650.072). VBT is a feasible and effective method\n                    for individualized load and volume prescription during unilateral resistance\n                    training in breast cancer survivors. Load\u2013velocity profiles and fatigue\n                    responses were symmetrical between operated and non-operated limbs, supporting\n                    the integration of VBT into
