Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Endurance capacity measured by 6 Minute Walking Test at t0, t1, t3, t4 and t5

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) reflecting their cardiorespiratory fitness measured during a maximal incremental exercise test on a cycle ergometer (t0, t1, t4 and t5) Strength capacity measured by the Five-Repetition Maximum strength in relevant muscle groups (0, t1, t4 and t5) and by the hand grip strength (t0, t1, t3, t4 and t5) body composition measured by a bioimpedance analysis (t0, t1, t4 and t5) clincal, patient- oriented outcomes, i.e. days at home after 30, 60 and 90 days post surgery, time of intensive care needed, postoperative complicationes, return to work (t3, t4 and t5) questionnaires to measure sleeping quality (t0, t1, t4 and t5) and quality of life (t0, t1, t4 and t5) Number and proportions of further circulating immune markers associated with inflammation and exercise (t0, t1, t2, t3, t4 and t5) Systemic and local, humoral and cellular inflammatory markers in blood, visceral fat and intestinal tissue (t2)
