The aim of this study was to examine the significance of exercise habits on perioperative functional outcomes in patients with low-grade or high-grade glioma. We found that glioma patients with low tolerance to exercise had more sleep disturbances and greater fatigue than glioma patients with high tolerance to exercise. Furthermore, exercise tolerance in the adult glioma population does not appear to impact plasma BDNF secretion.
