Summary
This trial is testing whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help fight endometrial cancer.
Who is the study for?
Women aged 40-75 with endometrial cancer, scheduled for surgery, and a BMI of 30-50 kg/m2 can join. They must have early-stage disease, access to email and a smartphone, and be able to visit the lab for tests. Those with recent severe cardiovascular events, other interventions or conditions that limit safe participation are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial studies the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on women with endometrial cancer before their standard surgery. It aims to see if HIIT has anti-cancer benefits by examining changes in tissue and blood markers.
What are the potential side effects?
While not drug-related, side effects from HIIT may include muscle soreness, fatigue, increased heart rate during exercise, risk of injury if not performed correctly, and possible exacerbation of pre-existing health conditions.
