Cardiovascular fitness helps with faster recovery and reduces surgical risks, while musculoskeletal fitness strengthens surrounding muscles, improves joint function, and reduces dependence on assistive devices. Tailored approaches including pre-surgical preparation and post-surgical rehabilitation can optimise outcomes. Integrating both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal fitness not only aids in recovery but also enhances overall health, potentially reducing the risk of future joint problems. A focused approach on both aspects of fitness is key to a successful outcome and sustained joint health.
