Surgical resection is the primary curative treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all adults, including cancer survivors, should engage in at least 150 to 300 min of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. Positive associations have been found between self-reported physical activity and healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) after lung cancer surgery. However, there is a lack of studies concerning objectively measured physical activity levels, and longer follow-ups are also missing. This study investigated the relationship between objectively measured physical activity levels and HRQoL in patients 3 and 12 months after lung cancer surgery.  \nMethods Utilizing a cross-sectional design, patients were followed up 3 (n = 83) and 12 (n = 57) months after lung cancer surgery. HRQoL was assessed with the cancer-specific questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30 and the lung-cancerspecific module LC13 . Physical activity was measured with a tri-axial accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+) .  \nResults At 3 months after surgery, 51%(n = 42) of the patients reached the level of physical activity recommended by the WHO; the corresponding result at 12 months was 42%(n = 24) . Patients who reached the recommended level of physical activity reported a better HRQoL, with better global health status and physical function as well as lower symptoms of fatigue, at both 3 and 12 months postoperatively.  \nConclusions Physical activity was positively associated with HRQoL. Encouraging and supporting patients to engage in regular physical activity could contribute to better HRQoL after lung cancer surgery.  \nTrial registration The trial was registered [at ClinicalTrials.gov](at ClinicalTrials.gov) (NCT01961700), registration date 20,131,009 .  \nKeywords Thoracic surgery, Postoperative, Health-related quality of life, Lung cancer  \n*Correspondence: Marcus Jonsson [marcus.jonsson@oru.se](marcus.jonsson@oru.se)  \n1Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Örebro SE-70182, Sweden  \n2Department of Clinical Diagnostics, School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University, Jönköping SE-55111, Sweden  \n3School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Örebro SE-70182, Sweden  \n4University Health Care Research Center, Faculty of Medicine and Health,Örebro University, Örebro SE-70182, Sweden  \n© The Author(s) 2025.
