Resistance exercise is deemed safe for women recovering from conventional breast cancer therapies but few clinicians are aware that dragon boat racing, as a form of resistive exercise, is available to the breast cancer community. The objectives of this study were to 1) increase clinician awareness of dragon boat racing (DBR) in breast cancer survivors as a community-based physical activity, and 2) evaluate quality of life (QOL) in breast cancer survivors with or without lymphedema who participate in DBR. This prospective, observational study surveyed 1,069 international breast cancer dragon boat racers from eight countries to compare function, activity, and participation in women with and without self-reported lymphedema using the Lymph-ICF questionnaire. Seventy-one percent of women (n=758) completed the questionnaires. Results revealed significantly higher Lymph-ICF scores in the lymphedema participants, signifying reduced QOL, when compared to the nonlymphedema participants (p<0.05), except for "go on vacation" for which no statistical difference was reported (p=0.20). International breast cancer survivors with lymphedema participating in DBR at an international competition had reduced function, limited activity, and restricted participation compared to participants without lymphedema. Clinicians should consider utilizing DBR as a community-based activity to support exercise and physical activity after a breast cancer diagnosis.

The Chinese Benteng community which inhabits the Tangerang Banten area is a community that has customs as practiced by its ancestors from China. The tradition he lived is the Peh-Cun ceremony. The party was carried out from ritual processions to entertainment in the form of dragon boat racing competitions. This is an attraction in conducting a study of the object.            The research uses qualitative methods. Direct observations are made to understand some of the phenomena that exist during the ceremony by taking data in the field and interviews.            The results of this study consisted of two aspects, first, the manifestation of the obedience and loyalty of the Chinese Benteng community towards Tian (God) and Khut Guan (the legendary figure in the Peh-Cun ceremony). The second result, the Peh-Cun celebration besides providing entertainment to the community, there was also an encouragement that encouraged the people of Chinese Benteng. It was seen when the dragon boat racing competition accompanied by drummers and shouts could be responded by the contest participants. If the musical phenomenon is drawn into a broader realm, the dragon boat race can motivate the Chinese Benteng ethnic community to remain strong and firm in their lives, namely the realization of balance, as found in the Yin-Yang concept that they believe in.
