What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that a personalized exercise program before surgery helps people with soft tissue sarcoma recover faster and have a better quality of life after their operation.

What could go wrong

This is a very small feasibility trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal is to see if the approach is practical, not to prove it works.
