Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary endpoint of this research are the postoperative complications<br /><br>within 30 days after elective colorectal surgery. We expect a decrease in<br /><br>postoperative complications from 73 percent to 33 percent in the<br /><br>prehabilitation group.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

<p>The secondary objectives are to observe what happens with the anaerobic<br /><br>threshold in the intervention group and the control group. Also the effect of<br /><br>the prehabilitation program on length of stay in hospital will be observed. The<br /><br>value of a limited geriatric assessment in this patients group will also be<br /><br>investigated. </p><br>
