Associations of objectively assessed physical activity and sedentary time with health‐related quality of life among colon cancer survivors

The primary purpose of this study was to determine associations of accelerometer‐assessed moderate‐ to vigorous‐intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time with health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical function and well‐being in colon cancer survivors.
