Physical Activity for Breast Cancer Prevention in South Asian Indian Women

This study is looking at ways to prevent breast cancer in South Asian Indian (SAI) immigrant women who have metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions that increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). Researchers want to see if increasing physical activity can help. You would receive either an enhanced physical activity monitor (a Fitbit watch with a mobile app) or participate in Bollywood-style group dance sessions. The study aims to improve your physical activity levels, measured by steps per day and moderate to vigorous physical activity per day. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 96 women.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 96 women.
What's involved
Participants will receive an enhanced physical activity monitor for 6 months or participate in 60-minute virtual dance sessions twice a week for 6 months. Physical activity will be measured at the beginning, at 12 weeks, and at 24 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Physical activity will be assessed at 12 and 24 weeks after the start of the study.
