Exercise, Gut Microbiome, and Breast Cancer: Increasing Reach to Underserved Populations

NCT05000502 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 48

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Understanding the impact exercise has on a cancer survivor's gut microbiome can improve the health and well-being of cancer survivors by enhancing treatments targeting the gut microbiome. Although scientific studies support a link between exercise and the gut microbiome, rigorous randomized trials needed to confirm this causal link are limited and usually involve supervised exercise. Hence, this proposal tests feasibility of a home-based, remote-only research protocol that is more accessible to cancer survivors unable to attend supervised exercise including but not limited to rural populations. This study will also determine if exercise effects on the gut microbiome differ by factors such as race.
