Introduction
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscle strength are prognostic factors in cancer.

Background Multimodal prehabilitation can optimize physical, nutritional, and psychological health in people with cancer, reduce treatment-related side effects, and support recovery; it may also benefit caregivers, who frequently report stress, anxiety, fatigue, reduced functioning and often feel abandoned by the system. We developed coACTIF (COllectively ACTive and InFormed upon cancer...
