Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. Prehabilitation, including exercise, can improve recovery from surgery. This pilot study investigates the combined effects of resistance and high-intensity interval training (ReHIIT) in healthy adults to establish baseline physiology and responses for comparison with cancer patients
