Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Completion rate of Nagoya University Prehabilitation Program (NUPP) using Preha Completion rate will be evaluated by the followings: a) average daily steps during waiting period for surgery b) proportion of the days walking more than 5,000 steps per day per days of waiting period for surgery c) number of squat per day d) daily minutes of moderate vigorous physical activity

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Compare the change of exercise capacity, body composition and nutritional status after the prehabilitation. 2) Incidence of postoperative complications and length of hospital stay 3) Relationships between the extent of exercise and bowel movement and the Edmonoton score. Note; The data of daily steps per day, incidence of postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay will be compared with those obtained from historical control (patients who underwent Nagoya University Prehabilitation Program) using propensity score matching.
