Jazzercise is proud to partner with Back in the Swing®, a grassroots nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to providing awareness, access, and financial support for supportive breast cancer survivorship programs and academic medical research in the field of breast cancer survivorship.
The organization’s goal is to empower breast cancer survivors to get back in the swing of life physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Together we will help breast cancer survivors get ‘back in the swing’ and ‘stay in the swing’ of joyful, healthy living after breast cancer.
University of Kansas Study
Jazzercise was at the forefront of a groundbreaking study conducted by the Breast Cancer Survivorship Center (BCSC) at the University of Kansas Cancer Center in conjunction with Back in the Swing that indicated the importance of fitness and exercise in reducing the chance of breast cancer recurrence.
From 2008-2010, half of the study’s participants had access to Jazzercise classes during a six month intervention. In a preliminary review of the data, participants with access to Jazzercise:
Lost more than 10% of their body weight - it is widely known that a decrease of as little as 5% of body weight has significant positive health implications, such as lowering blood pressure, lowering LDL ("bad cholesterol"), improves glucose tolerance (decreasing risk for diabetes) and lowers risk for heart disease.
Lost a median of 3.7% of their overall body fat measured by DEXA.
Spent four times more minutes per week exercising at the end of the study, than before it started.
Improved their fitness levels - including flexibility, grip strength, endurance and resting and active heart rate.
Significantly improved on measures of quality of life - including mood and menopausal symptoms.
Reduced their chances for recurrence of breast cancer.
