High levels of weekly sedentary behaviour and sitting time (302.60 ± 169.96 minutes) were reported. A weak, non-significant, positive correlation was found between total sedentary time and BMI (p>0.05, R2 = 0.1). A weak, non-significant, negative correlation was found between age and sedentary time (p>0.05, R2 = 0.002). More participants below 50 years were insufficiently active compared to above the age of 50 years. 1.7 to 2.6 years since diagnosis saw the greatest number of insufficiently active survivors and the category over 2.6 years since diagnosis saw the most active survivors. Most breast cancer survivors (71.10% & 82.05%) indicated being interested in and feeling capable of participating in an exercise programme (p>0.05, R2 = 0.72). The favoured preference for receiving physical activity advice was face-to-face with an exercise specialist at a cancer centre before treatment. Participation preferences included starting a programme immediately after treatment, in a home-based setting with one or two other people, where walking and a moderate exercise intensity were the preferred exercise type and level of intensity. Data collection occurred both immediately prior to (42% of participants) and during (56% of participants) the South African Covid-19 lockdown, so the results should be seen in light of this context. Conclusion: The current study is one of the first to explore physical activity rates and preferences of South African breast cancer survivors. As a group and individually these survivors were meeting public physical activity guidelines and engaging in the recommended weekly minutes. The high sitting time coupled with the high overweight and obesity levels highlight the need for positive behavioural changes including improved levels of physical activity and reduced sedentary behaviour. These changes need involvement from the numerous levels of society that affect health. Broad physical activity guidelines need to be developed not only to improve physical activity levels in breast cancer survivors but to work as a preventative measure by facilitating physical activity promotion in the general population. The findings of this study demonstrate that this group of South African breast cancer survivors is open to physical activity advice, to programmes and to improving physical activity levels.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 15:00:22 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42946 Wed 12 May 2021 14:59:40 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42918 Wed 12 May 2021 14:59:28 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42940 Wed 12 May 2021 14:54:05 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42812 Wed 12 May 2021 14:53:53 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42806 Wed 12 May 2021 14:38:27 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42480 0:5 h Mpc-1. We also found that the foreground leakage is worse when edge antennas are included, as they have a more different primary beam compared to antennas at the centre of the array. The leakage magnitude is worse when bright foregrounds appear in the antenna sidelobes, as expected. Our simulations provide a useful framework to interpret observations and assess which power spectrum region is expected to be most contaminated by foreground power leakage.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 14:24:29 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42953 Wed 12 May 2021 14:19:06 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42949 Wed 12 May 2021 14:17:52 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42490 Wed 12 May 2021 14:17:03 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42945 Wed 12 May 2021 14:09:14 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42944 Wed 12 May 2021 14:03:03 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42892 Wed 12 May 2021 13:52:10 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42898 Wed 12 May 2021 13:51:19 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42951 Wed 12 May 2021 13:46:56 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42814 0.05; df = 2). However, mortalities were high and growth rates low, indicating that the rearing conditions were sub-optimal, possibly masking genetic differences. No significant differences were observed in oxygen consumption rates (ANOVA, P = 0.18; df = 2), and CTM (t-Test, P = 0.31; df = 3) between the two populations. The CTM for both populations was between 29 - 30℃. The farm trial yielded no significant differences in growth rate during the Nursery phase (t-Test, P = 0.25; df = 2), however significant differences in growth rate were observed during the grow out phase with the Central region abalone offspring growing faster than the Eastern edge population (t-Test, P = 0.04; df = 4) indicating the possibility of a genetic difference between the two populations. Further experiments will be required to determine whether the differences observed in the growth trial were genetically or environmentally induced.]]> Tue 18 May 2021 14:45:49 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42760 Tue 01 Jun 2021 12:41:13 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42767 Tue 01 Jun 2021 11:59:15 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42776 Thu 27 May 2021 15:12:47 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42792 Thu 20 May 2021 14:59:58 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42895 Mon 31 May 2021 10:04:50 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42801 Mon 17 May 2021 15:20:31 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42931 Mon 17 May 2021 13:00:31 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42924 Mon 17 May 2021 11:50:31 SAST ]]> https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42774 Fri 28 May 2021 11:56:41 SAST ]]>
