Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to assess the impact of a 6-month unsupervised aerobic exercise program on the quality of life of patients undergoing partial or total pancreatectomy. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does an aerobic exercise program improve physical functioning and overall quality of life in post-pancreatectomy patients?

Eligible participants will be assigned to either an exercise group or a control group. Quality of life will be evaluated using standardized scoring scales, with a focus on physical functioning. Secondary outcomes include changes in metabolic parameters (glycemia, HbA1c, lipid profile), BMI, and overall survival.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physical Aerobic Exercise

30-minute net aerobic exercise sessions at moderate intensity (3-5 METS, 60%-70% of maximum heart rate) three times per week. Walking, cycling, or swimming, with the option to alternate activities to enhance adherence to the program. Each session will include 10 minutes of warm-up (gradual increase in intensity); 30 minutes of aerobic exercise and 10 minutes of cool-down (gradual reduction of intensity and optional stretching). Total weekly exercise duration will be 150 minutes
