BREAST CANCER WALKING STUDY

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。本初步研究的目的是：1)量化12周以家庭为基础的步行干预和12周步行和饮食联合干预对乳腺癌幸存者身体活动水平、健康、生活质量、身体成分和雌激素代谢的影响，2)为该人群的未来研究开发和测试身体活动和饮食干预材料的可行性。我们假设随机分配到步行干预组的女性将报告更高水平的身体活动和身体状态的生活质量指标，保持其初始体重，并具有更有利的雌激素代谢谱。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The objectives of this pilot study are to; 1) quantify the effect of a 12 week home based walking intervention and a combined 12-week walking and diet intervention on physical activity levels, fitness, quality of life, body composition, and estrogen metabolism in survivors of breast cancer, and 2) develop and test the feasibility of physical activity and diet intervention materials for future studies in this population. We hypothesize that women randomized to the walking intervention will report higher levels of physical activity, and quality of life indicators for physical status, maintain their initial body weight, and have more favorable estrogen metabolite profiles.
