Inverse association between changes in energetic cost of walking and vertical accelerations in non-metastatic breast cancer survivors

With accelerometry, the utility to detect changes in physical activity are predicated on the assumption that walking energetics and gait mechanics do not change. The present work examined associations between changes (∆) in walking energetics, exercise self-efficacy, and several accelerometer-derived metrics.Secondary analyses were performed among a sub-sample (n = 29) of breast cancer survivors participating in a larger randomized trial.
