fitex for endometrial cancer survivors: initial efficacy

Conditions: Endometrial Cancer; Obesity; Sedentary Behavior; Quality of Life; Survivorship

Summary: the goal of this clinical trial is to compare physical activity outcomes between endometrial cancer survivors randomized to 1 of 3 conditions: 1) usual care, 2) fitex, 3) fitex+yoga. survivors randomized to fitex groups will recruit \~3 support team members to complete the intervention with them. the main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * do fitex groups undertake more physical activity than the usual care group? * are there differences in quality of life, self-compassion, flourishing, self-efficacy, social support, habit formation, and fruit /vegetable consumption participants will: * wear a fitbit * complete surveys * participate in 30 minute weekly virtual meetings (fitex groups only) * receive weekly newsletters (fitex groups only)

the purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the initial efficacy of fitex, a physical activity tracking and promotion program, and fitex+yoga for endometrial cancer survivors (ecs), with focus on improvement of moderate-vigorous physical activity (mvpa) at the completion of the 8-week program. specifically, this project will recruit early stage ecs with obesity to be randomized to 1 of 3 conditions: 1) usual care, 2) fitex, 3) fitex+yoga. ecs in either intervention condition will each select \~3 friends or family members to be their support members (minimum 2 and maximum 5). all ecs will receive a fitbit to track their mvpa. we will then compare secondary ecs outcome measures between intervention and control groups including quality of life, self-compassion, flourishing, self-efficacy, social support, habit formation and fruit/vegetable consumption. additionally, support team member mvpa (via fitbit) and secondary outcomes will be compared. we will also explore long-term mpva and secondary outcomes in all groups at 6 months.
