Preoperative Physical Activity Improvement With the Use of Activity Trackers Before Radical Cystectomy (PreAct)
Sponsor: Universitätsmedizin Mannheim
Summary
A bicentric, open-label randomised controlled trial (RCT) is planned to investigate whether the use of fitness wristbands in a defined preoperative period prior to radical cystectomy leads to a preoperative increase in participants' physical activity (number of steps per day) up to the day of radical cystectomy.

Interventions
Daily Activity Goal and Feedback
The daily activity target is a fixed number of steps. The exact number of steps is determined beforehand as part of the case number planning in a pilot study with ten participants and adjusted if necessary. The activity target we suggest is 8000 steps. In addition, the participants receive feedback several times a day about the steps needed to reach the goal and whether they have ultimately reached the daily goal.
