Right after my treatment was over (sometime in 2005) all the lifestyle versus recurrence studies first interim analysis came out. One of these was the exercise one. The most beneficial criteria was 15 mets per week which works out to approximately walking 5 hours per week. Less was helpful (not as helpful as 5) but alot more was much, much worse so this correlates to that.
