Brief Summary:
This study will compare the outcome after surgery between a group of patients that receives instructions for prehabilitation training and one group that received standard treatment.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Colorectal Cancer Surgery Other: Physical activity Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The aim of this study is to investigate whether a training program with intensified physical activity prior to and after a surgical procedure reduces the surgical-related postoperative recovery time, hospital stay, sick leave and complication rate.

A secondary aim is to investigate the effect of a training program with pre- and post- operative PA on the rate of resumption of QoL and normal physical function.

Arms and Interventions

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Pre and postoperative exercise

The intervention is prehabilitation preoperatively and physical training postoperatively. During the hospital stay both groups will be treated in the same manner.

Preoperative intervention:

One half hour of exercise daily added to the existing daily exercise routine. The level of exercise should produce shortness of breath but the patient should be able to talk without much effort.

Inspiratory muscle training. Thirty breaths x two twice daily. Postoperative intervention is mainly the same as preoperatively.

 Other: Physical activity
The intervention will take place both pre- and postoperatively. During the hospital stay both groups will be treated in the same manner.
No Intervention: Control
Standard treatment with one exception, patients will fill in a physical activity diary
