The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form was used to assess PA and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-C30 (QLQ-C30) to assess HRQoL.

Pre-surgery, 39% met PA guidelines, increasing to 53% 3 months post-surgery (+14%, 95% CI 2\u201325). Mean global health status\/QoL domain scores from the QLQ-C30 did not change significantly (+4.4\/100 points, 95% CI \u22120.8 to 9.6). Three months post-surgery, whether participants met PA guidelines was not associated with PFD. Participants with anal incontinence or double incontinence had lower global health status\/QoL scores than participants without these symptoms (mean (SD) AI 61.4 (17.8) vs no AI 72.5 (18.7),\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.006; DI 61.5 (17.9) vs no DI 71.7 (18.8),\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.019).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PA levels were low pre- and post-surgery but worse preoperatively.
