BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS AGE 60–86 FROM 6 COUNTRIES PADDLE DRAGONBOATS TO RECOVERY
Bibliographic record
Abstract
750 women answered an Internet Survey 2011–2013 sent to Breast Cancer Survivor dragonboat teams. 356 (47%) aged 60 to 86 resided in the United States (48%), Canada (28%), Australia (17%), New Zealand (5%), England (1%), and South Africa (1%). The 32 question instrument recorded their experience of breast cancer: exercise, treatments, lymphedema and other after effects, and the effect of dragon boat paddling on their well-being after breast cancer. 99% had not paddled before cancer and selected BCS dragonboating as recovery exercise. Data illustrate types of cancer treatment reported by women in each country and after effects. 79 (25%) reported having lymphedema. 56% reported paddling had made their lymphedema “better”. Research reports exercise using large skeletal muscles produces “myokines” a “hormone” factor reducing inflammation. 59% reported manual lymphatic drainage was an effective therapy. 98% reported increased fitness from paddling. 87% said they would continue to paddle to keep physically active.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
