Abstract

There is limited research on the effect of exercise during neoadjuvant (NA) periods. Prehabilitation is a program to increase functional capacity in anticipation of an upcoming stressor. VO2max is a predictor of perioperative morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of training rectal cancer patients during NA treatment measured as 70% attending 4 out of 6 educational sessions.
