Identification of subgroups of patients with oesophageal cancer based on exercise intensity during prehabilitation

CONCLUSIONS: This cluster analysis identified three subgroups with distinct patterns in exercise intensity during prehabilitation. Participants who were physically fit were able to train at high intensity. Fatigued participants trained at lower intensity but showed the greatest improvement. A small group of participants, despite being physically active, had a low training capacity and could be considered frail.PMID:38591988 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2337106
