HIIT safely improves preoperative cardiorespiratory fitness in cancer patients; supports routine prehabilitation integration and further outcome trials.
Does high-intensity interval training improve cardiorespiratory fitness and health-related outcomes compared to usual care in the prehabilitation of patients diagnosed with cancer?
High-intensity interval training is safe, feasible, and significantly improves peak oxygen consumption during cancer prehabilitation compared to usual care.
