A member asked:

Would riding a bicycle cause my waste to reach the sigmoid colon any quicker than normal everyday activity would? or would it have the same rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Intestinal motility generally seem in part, dependent on physical activity, although it may play a minor role. People who are not physically active develop problems with constipation. Many studies show increased bowel activity with exercise.
