Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-surgical recovery time
Time Frame: More than 2 days
To determine if there is a reduction in post-surgical recovery time until the start of adjuvant therapy in patients with abdominopelivoc cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.
More than 2 days
Post-surgical readmisions
Time Frame: until 4 weeks from surgery
To determine if there is a reduction in the number of readmisions in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.
until 4 weeks from surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Anxiety levels
Time Frame: before surgery
To establish whether there is a decrease in preoperative anxiety levels mesured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.
before surgery
Strength
Time Frame: before surgery
To determine if there is an improvement strength mesured by hand grip in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.
before surgery
Self-care capacity
Time Frame: before surgery
To know if there is an improvement in the self-care capacity mesured by the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale (ASA) scale in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Pre-habilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise. Minimum value: 24 y Maximum value: 96. Higher scores mean a better outcomes.
before surgery
Aerobic capacity
Time Frame: before surgery
