Résumé
Perioperative mobilisation and physical activity are critical components of postoperative rehabilitation. Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for complications and prolonged hospitalisation. However, specific recommendations for preoperative and postoperative physical activity levels are currently lacking. Evidence suggests that daily step count before and after surgery may impact the length of hospital stay and complication rate.The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of perioperative step volume recommendations, measured by pedometers, in reducing the length of hospital stay and complication rate for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. This study is a single-centre randomised controlled trial with two arms, allocated at a 1:1 ratio. The trial includes individuals undergoing colorectal surgery for either suspected or confirmed colorectal malignancy. A total of 222 patients will be randomly assigned to either an intervention or a control group. Step counts will be measured using a pedometer. Patients assigned to the intervention group will be given a predetermined preoperative and postoperative step count goal. The analysis will be conducted on preoperative and postoperative physical activity, quality of life, health, duration of hospitalisation, complication rate and bowel function, among other factors. The trial was approved by the ethics committee of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Germany (reference number: 22-0758, protocol version 2022.02). Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and shared at academic conferences. After the publication of the results, a fully anonymised data set and the statistical code can be made available on justified scientific request and after ethical approval has been granted. DRKS00030017.

BACKGROUND
Perioperative mobilisation and physical activity are critical components of postoperative rehabilitation. Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for complications and prolonged hospitalisation. However, specific recommendations for preoperative and postoperative physical activity levels are currently lacking. Evidence suggests that daily step count before and after surgery may impact the length of hospital stay and complication rate.The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of perioperative step volume recommendations, measured by pedometers, in reducing the length of hospital stay and complication rate for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.
METHODS
This study is a single-centre randomised controlled trial with two arms, allocated at a 1:1 ratio. The trial includes individuals undergoing colorectal surgery for either suspected or confirmed colorectal malignancy. A total of 222 patients will be randomly assigned to either an intervention or a control group. Step counts will be measured using a pedometer. Patients assigned to the intervention group will be given a predetermined preoperative and postoperative step count goal. The analysis will be conducted on preoperative and postoperative physical activity, quality of life, health, duration of hospitalisation, complication rate and bowel function, among other factors.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION
The trial was approved by the ethics committee of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Germany (reference number: 22-0758, protocol version 2022.02). Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and shared at academic conferences. After the publication of the results, a fully anonymised data set and the statistical code can be made available on justified scientific request and after ethical approval has been granted.
