Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Oxygen consumption (VO2)

    Oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold (VO2 at AT) measured with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)

    Change from baseline to 2 months after surgery

  • Oxygen consumption (VO2)

    Oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold (VO2 at AT) measured with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)

    Change from baseline to post neo-adjuvant therapy (average duration 6-8 weeks)

Study Arms (2)

Supervised Prehabilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

Prehabilitation will include exercise, nutrition, and anxiety-coping intervention. This group will receive a supervised, in-hospital training.

Behavioral: Prehabilitation

Home-based Prehabilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

Prehabilitation will include exercise, nutrition, and anxiety-coping intervention. This group will receive a home-based training.

Behavioral: Prehabilitation

Interventions

PrehabilitationBEHAVIORAL

Endurance and Resistance Exercise, Nutrition therapy, reducing intervention during the whole preoperative period
