Brief Summary

Prehabilitation has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to improve outcomes in patients undergoing some of the abdominal operations. It may increase the physical capacity of the patient, improve postoperative quality of life and even decrease the postoperative morbidity. Currently, the most effective strategy seems to be a trimodal prehabilitation which includes: 1) Nutritional support 2) Psychological support and 3) Physical training.

Study Arms (2)

Prehabilitation group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the experimental group will undergo prehabilitation before the elective surgery for gastric cancer.

Other: Prehabilitation

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients in the control group will not undergo prehabilitation.

Interventions

Patients will undergo 6 Minutes Walking Test (6-MWT), spiroergometry (VO2 max; AT), a grip strength test, a timed Up \& Go (TUG) test, 10 m sprint test and sit to stand test before and after prehabilitation. The trimodal intervention will involve: 1. Nutritional intervention 2. Psychological intervention 3. Exercise intervention
