Abstract：
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence of the benefit of physical activity and mindfulness in breast cancer patients (HC et al. in BMC Complement Altern Med, 2017). Yoga offers a combination of both. The aim of this study was to establish an online yoga program for breast cancer patients and survivors. As the project was launched during the (COVID) pandemic restrictions, we intended to prove effective online yoga as a way to access supportive therapy independently of sanitary issues and geographic locations in rural regions.
METHODS: The two main outcomes were quality of life and sleep quality, and both were evaluated by standardized questionnaires (EORTC-QLQ 30 BR 23 and PSQI). Participants (n = 173) had breast cancer or a history of breast cancer and were randomized to either 6 weeks online yoga, twice a week for 45 min or a waiting control group.
RESULTS: Our results show improved sleep quality in the PSQI score and improved subitems (dyspnea and physical activity) in the EORTC quality of life score.
CONCLUSIONS: Online yoga seems to be a valid option in supportive therapy for breast cancer patients, as it improves physical fitness, dyspnea and overall sleep quality. It is also safe and cost effective as a remote intervention.

摘要：
背景：越来越多的证据表明身体活动和正念对乳腺癌患者有益（HC等人。在BMC补充AlternMed，2017)。瑜伽提供了两者的组合。这项研究的目的是为乳腺癌患者和幸存者建立一个在线瑜伽计划。由于该项目是在(COVID)大流行限制期间启动的，我们打算证明有效的在线瑜伽，作为一种独立于卫生问题和农村地区地理位置的支持治疗方法。
方法：两个主要结果是生活质量和睡眠质量，两者均通过标准化问卷(EORTC-QLQ30BR23和PSQI)进行评估。参与者（n=173）患有乳腺癌或有乳腺癌病史，并被随机分配到6周的在线瑜伽。每周两次，共45分钟或等待对照组。
结果：我们的结果显示，PSQI评分中的睡眠质量得到改善，EORTC生活质量评分中的子项目（呼吸困难和身体活动）得到改善。
结论：在线瑜伽似乎是乳腺癌患者支持治疗的有效选择，因为它提高了身体素质，呼吸困难和整体睡眠质量。作为远程干预，它也是安全且具有成本效益的。
