Importance of activity and recreation for the quality of life of patients treated for cancer of the head and neck

The ability of patients to participate in recreational activities is an important facet of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after treatment for cancer of the head and neck. The aim of this study was to analyse patients' responses to the activity and recreation domains of the University of Washington quality of life questionnaire (UW-QoL), and to relate them to clinical characteristics, the intensity of leisure-time exercise/week, perceived barriers that interfere with exercise, and feeling able to participate in an exercise programme.
