About

Overweight and obese endometrial cancer (EC) survivors at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill will be approached for tailored feedback fitness intervention. The investigators plan to enroll 36 women (18 in each arm) to evaluate if receipt of weekly tailored feedback messages can improve physical activity in EC survivors. It is hypothesized that women receiving the feedback message intervention will increase step counts from baseline more than 2,000 steps compared to women in the non-intervention arm.

Full description

Objectives:

• To assess if a tailored feedback fitness intervention can increase physical activity in EC survivors from baseline to 12 weeks post-baseline
• To determine the acceptability of the fitness intervention in EC survivors through a completion survey.
• To assess if a tailored feedback message fitness intervention can (1) decrease BMI, (2) reduce waitst to hip (W.H) ratios, (3) improve quality of life (QOL) and (4) improve serum metabolic markers (insulin, glucose and low density lipoprotein (LDL) in EC survivors.

39 participants in 2 patient groups

Tailored Feedback Messages

Experimental group

Description:

Participants randomized to the message arm will begin receiving encouragement and reminder UNC CHART messages to increase physical activity weekly based on the CHART algorithm (Appendix 1). Participants on the feedback arm will receive 1 message per week during the 3-month study period.
