Interventions/Control_1

A 12-week home-based exercise program will be provided to patients aged 18 years or older who have been discharged after local therapy for liver cancer. The program includes resistance training using a theraband targeting three lower limb muscle groups (iliopsoas, quadriceps, gluteus medius) at least 3 days per week, and aerobic exercise in the form of walking. The step count target will start at 3,000 steps per day and increase by 1,000 steps every month. A pedometer and smartphone application will be used to monitor and record adherence.
