Investigators employ the recommendations of the American College of Sport Medicine and the World Health Organization for adults to divide our enrolled patients having moderate-intensity as 30-60 min∙d-1 (≥150 min∙wk-1 ) or vigorous-intensity as 20-60 min∙d-1 (≥75 min∙wk-1) for 6-8 weeks preoperatively. The severity of postoperative pain are measured prospectively at 1, 4, 7, 10 and 24 hours after the surgical operations. The operations are performed under inhalation general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation or through laryngeal mask.
No any moderate-intensity or vigorous-intensity physical activity for our enrolled patients preoperatively. The severity of postoperative pain are measured prospectively at 1, 4, 7, 10 and 24 hours after the surgical operations. Various types of operations are performed under inhalation general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation or through laryngeal mask.
