Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in patients with supratentorial brain tumours. The main questions it aims to answer is: Can short-term preoperative walking exercise protect cognitive function in the short term after craniotomy in patients with supratentorial brain tumor and reduce the incidence of surgery-related complications? Participants will be asked to receive general care and regular walking exercises prior to surgery. Researchers will compare patients who receive only general care before surgery to see if preoperative walking exercise has an effect on postoperative prognosis.

Conditions

• Supratentorial Brain Tumor
• Exercise
• Cognition
• Postoperative Complications

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Walking exercise	The target physical activity level for participants is to walk 10,000 steps per day and to meet or exceed that level (but not exceed 15,000 steps) seven days a week for three to four weeks. Participants will be advised to gradually increase their daily step count in proportion to their physical condition. Exercise will be performed by brisk walking or jogging using the indoor treadmill equipped by the Neurosurgery Department of Xiangya Hospital or outdoors. Each workout will begin with a 5-minute warm-up and end with a 5-minute cool-down.
