• Description:
  Objective:
  
  The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and perceived utility of the provision of a wearable fitness device and an exercise prescription from a surgeon, prior to surgery for lung cancer.
  
  Methods:
  
  A single arm, pre-post feasibility study was conducted with 30 participants scheduled for surgery to treat stage I, II, or III lung cancer. Participants were given a Garmin Vivoactive HR device and a prescription for 150 minutes of moderately-vigorous exercise per week. Participants completed assessments on four occasions and completed a semi-structured interview on two occasions. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the feasibility and acceptability of study procedures, including synchronizing the Garmin device and engaging in study assessments.
  
  Results:
  
  Seventy-nine percent of enrolled participants completed the pre-operative study activities. Seventy-one percent of enrolled participants successfully synchronized their device during the pre-operative period. Data was transmitted from the device to the study team for an average of 70% of the pre-operative days.
  
  Conclusion:
  
  This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of a pre-operative exercise program for patients scheduled to undergo surgery for lung cancer.
  
  Trial Registration:
  
  The study protocol was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov prior to the initiation of participant recruitment (NCT03162718).
