Prehabilitation

The structured exercise sessions will be conducted in a homebased setting, consisting of 8 resistance exercises (RE). The 8 RE's will include 4 upper body and 4 lower body exercises (Sit to stand, chest press, heel raises, bicep curls, leg abduction, tricep kickbacks, lunges, mid row). This is adapted from an existing home-based trial in cardiac patients. In addition, the structured exercise programme will include a walking programme. Participants will receive a Fitbit charge 5 activity monitor. Additionally, participants will conduct daily IMT via a Powerbreathe medic plus device. Participants will conduct 6 sets of 6 breaths at 50% of peak inspiratory pressure that has been measured at baseline. Education will be delivered via pre-recorded videos or in person
