CANCER
For older people with frailty participating in exercise prehabilitation before cancer surgery, many facilitators to program adherence align with those of patients without frailty, including the intrinsic motivation of improving one’s health before surgery, having social support and the use of purpose designed and personalized programming. Future programs should leverage these facilitators while considering novel barriers such as limitations due to poor baseline health, adverse weather conditions, and need for emotional support. Continued, iterative implementation and re-evaluation of barriers and facilitators may be required to ensure older people with frailty achieve adequate adherence to benefit from prehabilitation.
