Exercise before surgery: could ReHIIT boost recovery for bowel cancer patients?

NCT ID NCT07313332

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study will test a combined exercise program called ReHIIT (resistance training plus high-intensity interval cycling) in 14 healthy adults. The goal is to see how the body responds to this type of exercise, so researchers can later compare it to colorectal cancer patients. The study does not involve any drugs or treatments for cancer itself.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ReHIIT training (resistance exercise plus high-intensity interval cycling)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help design better exercise programs to prepare colorectal cancer patients for surgery and improve recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study in healthy volunteers, not cancer patients. Results may not translate to actual patients or lead to any treatment changes.
