Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates home-based prehabilitation increases preoperative physical activity in non-cardiac but not cardiac surgical patients, highlighting distinct baseline conditioning needs.

Key Points

Preoperative physical activity increased significantly after home-based prehabilitation before non-cardiac surgery, whereas patients awaiting cardiac procedures showed no measurable change.
Daily physical activity increased by 3.01 mg in non-cardiac surgery patients, whereas cardiac cases showed a negligible difference of 0.27 mg across the preoperative period.
Randomized controlled trial data from wrist-worn accelerometer tracking indicate that routine lifestyle advice before cardiac surgery may attenuate the observed intervention benefit.
