From: A mixed-methods evaluation of a community physical activity program for breast cancer survivors

	Group	METS^a mean (SD)	Effect size (d)	Steps^b mean (SD)	Effect size (d)
Baseline	PA program	3663 (3064)	0.14	7326 (2343)	0.71
Baseline	Lifestyle	3026 (2182)	0.14	5375 (3133)	0.71
12-weeks	PA program	3306 (2160)	0.23	6335 (1370)	0.28
12-weeks	Lifestyle	2578 (1740)	0.23	5674 (3069)	0.28

^aMETS = metabolic equivalents for physical activity
^bSteps are per day on average over the week, rounded to closest step. For step counts, there were 8 women in the PA program group and 11 women in the lifestyle group who complied with wearing the pedometer and who are included in the analysis
