Mean Vo_2max among sedentary, active, and endurance‐trained healthy women by age category* compared with mean Vo_2max among breast cancer patients. *The equations to calculate Vo_2max were as follows: sedentary [43.82−0.35 (age)], active [54.02−0.44 (age)], endurance‐trained [72.41−0.62 (age)]. Estimated rates of decline per decade for sedentary, active, and endurance‐trained women were −3.5 mL/(kg min), −4.4 mL/(kg min), and −6.2 mL/(kg min) per decade, respectively.²¹
