Physical activity is important for healthy cancer survivorship, yet many endometrial cancer survivors do not participate in recommended muscle-strengthening activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of home-based muscle strengthening activity in endometrial cancer survivors.
Forty post-treatment endometrial cancer survivors were enrolled in a randomized trial, of twice-weekly home-based strength exercise versus wait-list control. The intervention included educational materials, exercise equipment (dumbbells, resistance bands), and support/feedback via video coaching sessions. Participants completed the exercises twice per week for 10 weeks, with a 5-week follow-up period. Feasibility was measured by program adherence, as well as safety of and satisfaction with the study.
On average, participants were 60.9 years old (SD = 8.7), had a BMI of 39.9 kg/m (SD = 15.2), and were 2.9 years (SD = 1.2) since diagnosis. The majority (83%) had stage I disease at diagnosis. Seventy-five percent adhered to the exercise prescription of twice/week, with 85% of participants missing fewer than 3 of the workouts. Forty percent of participants continued workouts during the 5-week follow-up. Participants were highly satisfied with intervention. No injuries or adverse everts occurred.
This home-based program was feasible in endometrial cancer survivors. While adherence was measured, future research should focus on long-term maintenance of exercise and should explore progressions and modifications of exercises at a distance for various abilities.
Muscle strengthening activities are recommended for all cancer survivors. This study shows that a home-based muscle strengthening exercise is feasible in endometrial cancer survivors.
身体活动对癌症康复者的健康很重要，但许多子宫内膜癌幸存者并未参与到推荐的肌肉强化活动中。本研究旨在确定基于家庭的肌肉强化活动在子宫内膜癌幸存者中的可行性。
40 名治疗后的子宫内膜癌幸存者被纳入一项随机试验，分为每周两次家庭力量训练组和候补对照组。干预措施包括教育材料、运动设备（哑铃、阻力带）以及通过视频教练课程提供支持/反馈。参与者每周进行两次锻炼，共 10 周，然后进行 5 周的随访。通过方案依从性以及研究的安全性和满意度来衡量可行性。
平均而言，参与者年龄为 60.9 岁（标准差=8.7），BMI 为 39.9kg/m（标准差=15.2），诊断后 2.9 年（标准差=1.2）。大多数（83%）患者在诊断时处于 I 期疾病。75%的参与者遵循每周两次的锻炼方案，其中 85%的参与者错过的锻炼次数少于 3 次。40%的参与者在 5 周的随访期间继续锻炼。参与者对干预非常满意。没有发生伤害或不良反应。
本基于家庭的方案在子宫内膜癌幸存者中是可行的。虽然已经测量了依从性，但未来的研究应重点关注锻炼的长期维持，并应探索针对各种能力的远程锻炼的进展和调整。
肌肉强化活动被推荐给所有癌症幸存者。本研究表明，基于家庭的肌肉强化运动在子宫内膜癌幸存者中是可行的。
