Data presented as unadjusted mean (SD) for participants with complete data sets for both time points

*

F and P value (using Huynh–Feldt adjustment for sphericity) from RM-ANCOVA for the time by group interaction that included baseline, 6 and 12 month time points and controlled for the following: age, time since diagnosis, current adjuvant hormone therapy use. P values are observed and not corrected for multiple testing

a

Sample size for biomarkers was N = 33 for POWIR and N = 28 for FLEX

b

Energy expenditure calculated from CHAMPS physical activity survey and includes energy expended in activities ranging from low to vigorous intensity per week

c

Calcium intake includes calcium obtained both from dietary sources and from dietary supplements
