Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of exercise prehabilitation on quality of recovery after cardiac surgery: a single-centre randomised controlled trial.

We aimed to determine the effect of a structured exercise prehabilitation programme on the quality of recovery after cardiac surgery in vulnerable and frail participants. ⋯ ChiCTR1800016098.
