I can't figure out how they do the math.
The study states that 80% of the structured exercise group did not experience recurrent or new cancer after five years, whereas only 74% of the control group made it cancer free to that point. Some math boffin interpreting the study turned this into the structured exercise group had a 28% lower risk of experiencing cancer.
And the study states that after 8 years, 90% of the structured exercise group were still alive, compared to 83% of the control group. Presumably the same math boffin feeding reporters turned this into the structured exercise group had a 37% lower risk of death from any cause.
