This randomized clinical trial studies how well a hula-based exercise program works in increasing physical activity in breast, cervical, endometrial, or ovarian cancer survivors. A hula-based exercise program may help cancer survivors increase physical activity and improve cancer survivorship and overall quality of life.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT02351479.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the feasibility of a hula-based physical activity intervention program for a multiethnic population of breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer survivors.
II. To evaluate the effects of the 6-month hula-based physical activity intervention program on biomarkers associated with breast cancer prognosis in a multiethnic population of breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer survivors.
III. To evaluate the effects of a hula-based physical activity intervention program on self-reported quality of life (QOL) outcomes.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients participate in a hula-based exercise program consisting of 10 minute warm-up, 40 minute conditioning, and 10 minute cool-down 2 times a week and home-based hula practice for 10-15 minutes 3 times a week for 6 months.
ARM II: Beginning 6 months after study enrollment, patients participate in a hula-based exercise program consisting of 10 minute warm-up, 40 minute conditioning, and 10 minute cool-down 2 times a week and home-based hula practice for 10-15 minutes 3 times a week for 6 months.
