Measure
Strength-Training Intervention
Following baseline measures, participants will receive an initial in-person instructional session, instructional material and resistance training equipment, support and feedback via video coaching, mid-point assessment, and an in-person study visit to collect post study measures. Intervention will be 10 weeks, with 5 week follow up period. Baseline Measures: Accelerometer (steps), Biomarkers (finger prick for hemoglobin A1c and c-reactive protein), Anthropometrics (height, weight, waist and hip circumference), Body composition (dual-energy absorptiometry for measuring fat mass, lean mass, % body fat, visceral fat), Functional fitness test. Strength-Training: 2 sessions per week (20-40 min), home-based resistance training Mid-point Measures: Accelerometer (steps) Post-Study Measures: Accelerometer (steps), Biomarkers (finger prick for hemoglobin A1c and c-reactive protein), Anthropometrics (height, weight, waist and hip circumference), Body composition (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry)
Waitlist Control
Following baseline measures, participants will provide mid-point measures, and in-person post-study measures with no 10-week strength training intervention. Baseline Measures: Accelerometer (steps), Biomarkers (finger prick for hemoglobin A1c and c-reactive protein), Anthropometrics (height, weight, waist and hip circumference), Body composition (dual-energy absorptiometry for measuring fat mass, lean mass, % body fat, visceral fat), Functional fitness test.

Population: Waitlist control group was not included in adherence measures as they did not receive exercises until final measures were completed.

Compliance/adherence will be measured via detailed exercise logs. A participant needs to complete at least 50% of the prescribed exercises in a session to be considered adherent to the session.

Population: Satisfaction was only collected for the strength training intervention. Sixteen participants completed the end of study satisfaction survey upon which this metric was based.

Participants will complete semi-structured qualitative interviews with the study coordinator. Interviews will be recorded, transcribed and coded to identify content themes. These interviews will be used to collect qualitative information and overall satisfaction with the intervention, as well as areas to improve with future interventions and barriers to participation.

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapies (FACT) changes from baseline, mid-point, to post-study will be captured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapies (FACT) questionnaire including the Endometrial subscale (FACT-En). The FACT assessment measures physical, social/family, and functional well-being, each on a scale of 0-28, and emotional well being on a scale of 0-24. The Endometrial component contains concerns specific to endometrial cancer such as hot/flashes, cramps, and swelling; measured on a scale of 0-64. Each of these sections will be scored for sub-scale scores and then the entire instrument will have a total composite score (0-172; the higher the score, the more quality of life improvements) and will be reported as such.

The Endometrial component contains concerns specific to endometrial cancer such as hot/flashes, cramps, and swelling; measured on a scale of 0-64, the higher the score, the more quality of life improvements.

Changes in mental well-being from baseline, mid-point, and post-study (including anxiety, depression, and fatigue) will be assessed using standardized NIH-provided Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures. The fatigue assessment asks about self-reported systems of fatigue and tiredness, all the way up to exhaustion overall, and ask about fatigue over the past seven days. The depression assessment asks about depressive symptoms over the past seven days. The anxiety assessment asks about symptoms adjacent-to and including anxiety over the past seven days. For each of these three instruments (which comprise the mental well-being assessments) the data will be reported as change over time, specifically using the T-score (standardized mean) and the standard error. Each is standardized to a mean of 50 and a range of 0-100; a higher scores indicate a higher "level" of that construct, whether it's higher levels of depression, fatigue or anxiety.

Self-efficacy will be assessed at baseline, mid-point, and post-study using the validated self-efficacy for exercise scale, modified for specificity to strength training. This instrument has 9 items, each of which is scored from 0-10, with a maximum score of 90. Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy for exercise. These scores will be reported descriptively at each time point (baseline, mid-point, final), and will also be reported in a table as change over time.

Although aerobic and lifestyle physical activity (PA) are not a focus of the intervention, they will be assessed to determine baseline PA level and identify whether uptake of resistance training is associated with changes in other PA types. Participants will wear the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL) for 7 days during all waking hours, at baseline, mid-point, and post-study visit. The ActiGraph is a gold standard method of objective activity assessment. Accelerometer data will be measured in total minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity over a 7-day period. Light intensity is Moderate intensity is Vigorous intensity is
