About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a 3-month dance-based exercise program combined with individualized nutrition can improve health outcomes in obese breast cancer survivors in remission. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Will the intervention reduce body weight, body fat, and visceral adiposity?

Will it improve cardiorespiratory fitness, motor performance, gut microbiota composition, and quality of life?

Researchers will compare women participating in the dance and nutrition program with a control group who maintain their usual lifestyle to see if the intervention leads to favorable metabolic, physical, and microbiome-related changes.

Participants will:

Attend supervised dance classes three times per week for 12 weeks.

Follow an individualized nutrition plan tailored to their resting metabolic rate.

Provide blood and stool samples, complete fitness tests, and answer quality-of-life questionnaires before and after the intervention.
