AB - Evidence suggests that physical activity(PA) is positively associated with health-related quality of life(QOL) in colorectal cancer(CRC) survivors. However, little is known regarding long-term effects of PA on QOL and if pre-diagnosis PA is associated with QOL in the years after diagnosis. Our study aimed to investigate the association of pre- and post-diagnosis PA with long-term QOL in CRC survivors. This study is based on a population-based cohort from Germany of 1781 newly diagnosed CRC survivors over a five-year period. Physical activity was assessed at diagnosis and at five-year follow up(5YFU). Quality of life was assessed by the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 at 5YFU. Multivariable linear regression was used to explore associations between pre- and post-diagnosis PA and QOL. No evidence of a positive association between higher levels of pre-diagnosis PA and better long-term QOL was found. Higher levels of pre-diagnosis work-related PA and vigorous PA were even associated with decreased QOL in domains such as cognitive (Beta(ß)= -2.52, 95
