Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter/endpoint is the feasibility of the supervised home-based prehabilitation program. Hereto, participation rate and reasons for non-participation will be evaluated. In participating patients, adherence/compliance, dropout rate, reasons for dropout, adverse events, patient motivation, and patient appreciation will be assessed throughout the program. Moreover, therapist appreciation will be determined. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary parameters/endpoints before and after the prehabilitation program include aerobic capacity, body composition, functional mobility, immune system function, perceived fatigue, and quality of life. When possible muscle function will be determined before and after the intervention. During the program, progression in physical fitness will be objectively monitored, as well as body mass. | — |
