Compliance, adherence and effectiveness of a community-based pre-operative exercise programme: a pilot study

ConclusionThis community-based pre-operative  exercise programme showed acceptable compliance and adherence rates, and significantly increased upper and lower body strength and HRQoL. Pre-operative exercise training should be considered as early as possible in the surgical-oncology pathway and respected within patient scheduling.
