Prehabilitation Exercise Intervention
The exercise intervention will consist of light-to-moderate intensity aerobic, resistance, and mobility exercises. These exercises will be performed in a circuit type manner. Participants will perform similar exercises that are modified to meet their individual abilities. Exercise intensity, modifications and substitutions will be determined for each participant based on their medical history, 6 minute walk test results, and baseline frailty scores. Exercise sessions will be performed 3x/wk beginning at 30 min and progressing to 60-min as tolerated for a minimum of four weeks but will continue up until the time of the participants surgery. A hybrid approach will be used for the exercise sessions whereby the participant must attend the first exercise session in person and subsequent sessions will be delivered virtually. Sessions will be overseen by the study Clinical Exercise Physiologist.
