✦ Synopsis

A workshop on physical activity and breast cancer was held in November 1997 to review previous epidemiologic research on this topic and to identify new areas for research. This article is the first of three summaries of the workshop's activities.

The material reviewed included 21 studies that reported a measure of physical activity in relation to breast cancer outcomes and were published by December 1997. They were identified in a computerized literature search and a ''by-hand'' review of journals. The study designs, populations, data collection methods, and results were examined and the strengths and limitations of the studies identified.
