Prehabilitation

A Registered Kinesiologist (RKin) will provide the exercise prescription, consisting of 4-5 days of aerobic exercise training and 2-3 days of resistance exercise training of major muscle groups, during a remotely delivered familiarization session using Microsoft Teams. The 60-minute remote program introduction will include a description and demonstration of all of the exercises that will follow the baseline assessment. Patients will be prescribed an individualized exercise program considering: (1) their exercise preferences, (2) their current physical capacity, (3) previous medical history, and (4) presence of underlying comorbidities, mobility, and skeletal fragility concerns \[NOTE: the location/impact of a tumour is not applicable for PROPELLER as it was in REB#5901, and is thus not included here\]. The participant will have an opportunity to execute the exercises in the remote presence of the RKin who will provide corrective feedback where applicable.
