High-intensity pre-surgery training before major belly surgery
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured, high-activity fitness program before elective abdominal surgery can help you prepare and recover better. It’s meant for people considered at moderate to high surgical risk who can safely do pre-op exercise.
