| Abstract |
Decreases in cardiorespiratory fitness among breast cancer patients have often been reported in previous studies, affecting patients' health and survival. Peak oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]) is the gold standard for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness and is inversely correlated with cardiovascular disease among women with breast cancer. Some previous studies have reported that aerobic exercise and proper diet positively influence [Formula: see text]. However, almost all studies have been conducted in the Western countries, and few studies are investigating on Asian women who have lower BMI compared with Western ones. Investigating the effects of a combined exercise and diet program among Japanese cancer patients undergoing therapy on [Formula: see text]. Thirty-two Japanese women with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy (age; 50 ± 6 years, body weight; 59 ± 10 kg) were voluntarily assigned to either intervention group (n = 21) or control group (n = 11). The intervention group completed a 12-week combined exercise plus diet program, consisting of weekly aerobic exercise and maintaining a nutritionally well-balanced 1200 kcal/day diet. The control group was instructed to continue with their usual activities. Anthropometric indices and [Formula: see text] were measured at baseline and after the 12-week program. All 21 women completed the 12-week program. The [Formula: see text] significantly increased from 26.7 to 30.4 mL/kg/min (1.57-1.62 L/min) in the intervention group, while it remained unchanged (26.9-26.9 mL/kg/min) in the control group. Mean reduction of body mass index was - 2.1 in the intervention group (P < .001) and + 0.1 in the control group. Our combined exercise plus diet program may contribute to improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and body weight compared with control group. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 April 2022.
All research outputs
#7,322,101
of 23,975,976 outputs
Outputs from Breast Cancer
#125
of 614 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#120,191
of 329,699 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Breast Cancer
#2
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,975,976 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 614 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,699 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 8 of them.
