This study is different from others in the sense that the researchers combined and analyzed several decades’ worth of data from past studies to find out the effect of exercises on colon cancer.
The study was conducted by Washington University School of Medicine in

Wolin, the study clearly establishes the association between exercise and lower colon cancer regardless of how physical activity was measured in it.
