- Tailored exercise program
Trial Overview
The study is testing whether a personalized exercise program done before surgery can help improve thinking and memory after the operation. Brain activity will also be monitored during surgery using EEG.

Experimental Treatment
The participants will undergo the virtual exercise intervention 2xweek for 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, and take cognitive testing with non-invasive EEG recordings at 5-point time (the baseline prior to start of the exercise program, at 2-4 days prior to surgery, during the surgery, post-op, and 30-day post surgery). Participants will also be interviewed after the intervention and after surgery to obtain their feedback on their experience with the study procedures.
