Brief Title: Prehabilitation in Patients Suffering From Gynecological Cancers
Official Title: Feasibility and Acceptance of High Intensity Interval Training in the Prehabilitation of Patients Suffering From Gynecological Cancers - a Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
Study ID: NCT04618094
Brief Summary: In 2016, 2216 Austrian women (= 10% of all new cancer cases) were diagnosed with gynecological tumors. Depending on stage and entity, a main primary therapy option is the surgical tumor resection. In the phase of Prehabilitation (= the time frame from diagnosis to surgical intervention) supportive therapy options such as individualized exercise interventions potentially improve recovery and postoperative outcomes after surgical interventions. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and acceptance of a prehabilitation training intervention with high-intensity interval training compared to a conventional moderate intensity continuous training and a non-training collective. Secondary goals are the investigation of the effectiveness of threshold-based intensity prescriptions and the impact on quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, depression, sexuality and ability to work.
