BACKGROUND/AIM: Breast cancer survivors often report a decrease in physical activity levels and quality of life. The aim of this study was to explore whether a "Kyusho Jitsu" martial arts intervention is feasible and can improve general well-being and physical activity levels in breast cancer survivors.
Breast cancer survivors (N=51) were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. The intervention group participated in a 24-week Kyusho Jitsu intervention. Both groups were assessed at baseline, 3, and 6 months.
Analysis of original data showed several significant improvements in favor of the intervention group, but also some of the control group. Sensitivity analysis supports these findings. No adverse events were observed.
To our knowledge this is the first study showing that a holistic Kyusho Jitsu martial arts intervention can be feasible and effective for breast cancer survivors.
背景/目的:乳腺癌幸存者常报告身体活动水平和生活质量下降。本研究的目的是探讨“穴位指压柔术”武术干预对乳腺癌幸存者而言是否可行,以及能否改善其总体幸福感和身体活动水平。
将51名乳腺癌幸存者随机分为干预组或对照组。干预组参加了为期24周的穴位指压柔术干预。两组在基线、3个月和6个月时进行评估。
原始数据分析显示,干预组有多项显著改善,但对照组也有一些改善。敏感性分析支持这些结果。未观察到不良事件。
据我们所知,这是第一项表明全面的穴位指压柔术武术干预对乳腺癌幸存者可行且有效的研究。
