Summary

This study tested whether a 6-week online exercise program (PreActiv) is practical for patients waiting for major surgery. 35 participants did three 35-minute home workouts each week, including cardio and strength exercises. The goal was to see how many people stuck with the program and completed the study, which will help decide if a larger trial is worthwhile.

Inclusion Criteria: * Planned for major elective surgery ≥10 weeks from time of recruitment Major or complex surgery examples in NICE guideline NG45 'Routine preoperative tests for elective surgery' provides appropriate examples that are relevant to the patient cohort at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust (RUH). We have extrapolated from these examples a list of surgical procedures that qualify as major or complex surgery and are carried out at the RUH. This list is not exhaustive but provides a range of procedures that are applicable for example: laparotomy, joint replacement, total abdominal hysterectomy, nephrectomy, neck dissection, parotidectomy, endoscopic resection of prostate, thyroidectomy. * Aged ≥50 years Exclusion Criteria: * Surgery scheduled in \<10 weeks * Any relative or absolute contraindications to undertake an exercise test as described by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM, 2022) and the American Heart Association (Fletcher et al., 2013) * Unsuitable to increase physical activity level as determined by Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) * Uncontrolled or poorly-controlled lung condition, diabetes, or seizures * Recent (\<12 months) cardiovascular events needing hospital admission * Ongoing infection or wound making this programme hazardous for the patient * Unable to access technology required to use the PreActiv digital platform * Currently meeting World Health Organisation (WHO) physical activity guidelines of 75- 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity per week, plus twice-weekly muscle strengthening activities * Unable to understand explanations and/or provide informed consent * Unable to understand written or spoken English, and without ongoing access to an interpreter * Any condition and/or behaviour that would pose undue personal risk or introduce bias into the study * Currently enrolled in another research trial
