Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The Exercise for COlorectal OLder patients (ECOOL program) is randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of an exercise program on physical function and health-related quality of life of patients 75 years and older with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery. ECOOL is a multicomponent home-based exercise intervention focused on the development of strength, balance, gait ability and inspiratory muscle function of older patients who receive weekly telephone follow-up from cancer diagnosis to 3 months after surgery. The investigators expect that ECOOL program will improve physical function and health-related quality of life of older patients 3 months after surgery and to maintain these benefits up to 6 months after surgery compared with the control group receiving usual care.
