Intervention type: OTHER
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Intervention 1: Mobilization during hospitalization
Description: Surgical ICU Optimal Mobilization Score (SOMS) will be used to initiate early mobilization. SOMS consists of five levels of mobilization reaching from no activity to ambulation. Thirty minutes after PACU-arrival, the patient will be asked to do lower leg exercises. If this is possible, the patient will advance to the next level of mobilization. If not possible, level zero is recorded and the patient rests for another 30 minutes before attempting level one again. This continues until the patient succeeds with level four. Safety criteria for advancing to the next level of mobilization are based on criteria for mobilizing patients in the ICU. The intervention group will receive standard care with additional supervised mobilization while hospitalized. This mobilization consist of walking 1000 steps on postoperative day (POD) 0 and 500 steps on POD1 before discharge. Step counts are measured using pedometers.

Intervention: Intervention 2: Mobilization the first 4 postoperative weeks
Description: Intervention 2 will start the first weekday after discharge and continue for 4 weeks. Four supervised physical activity sessions and 8 sessions using telerehabilitation. The activities are low-intensity exercises (walking and lightly strength training using resistance bands) with progressed intensity throughout the weeks. The exercises will be individually progressed to meet the participant's level of activity, as it is important the participants benefit as much as possible from the intervention. The participants will receive information about different possibilities for leisure activities, for motivation to continue physical activity after the first 4 weeks.

Intervention: Control group
Description: The control group receives standard care.~Patients are mobilized to sit at the bedside before being transferred to the surgical ward. However, it is not used as prophylactic pain management nor is there a structured evidence based protocol with regard to mobilization. The control group will also be equipped with pedometers. They are encouraged to mobilize, and they receive a form in which they can write down mobilization for each hour. There is no planned supervised mobilization. As patients in the control group are assigned to standard care, they will not receive any supervised physical activity after discharge.
