Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients scheduled for urologic surgery who will be assigned to either an exercise or nutrition intervention to enhance their recovery. Participants will establish a baseline of their physical activity and nutritional status before starting a regimen that encourages increased physical activity or the consumption of nutritional supplements. The exercise group will aim for 10,000 steps daily and strength training three times a week, while the nutrition group will consume a liquid supplement twice daily around the time of surgery. The study aims to assess the impact of these interventions on physical function and perioperative complications.
