I am a 4th year medical student at Peninsula Medical School and I am currently doing a research project about the blue gym and its possible role in getting peole fit before surgery with Mr Peyser and fellow student, Samantha Hunt. We are are looking into research about presurgical fitness levels and postsurgical outcomes and were wondering if you had any ideas where we could look?
Thanks
Charlotte
