Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Whilst the incidence of breast cancer is high, survival is good and has improved significantly over the past 30 years. A diagnosis of breast cancer can be a life-changing event for women and treatment can be intense and prolonged; this can have a detrimental effect on QoL. Exercise may be a means by which the QoL of cancer survivors can be improved. Evidence from numerous trials have shown that many of the physical, functional and emotional effects that are typically experienced by women after treatment for breast cancer may be ameliorated, at least in the short term, through participation in regular exercise, regardless of mode or setting. However, despite considerable advancements in this field, we must remain cognizant that we have a long way to go and many questions remain unanswered. There is still a need for larger trials of high methodological quality that include long-term follow-up. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010. All rights reserved.
