Symptoms and General Pathology

All Conditions

Fatigue

Endurance training (walking on a treadmill) 3 x weekly for 4 weeks

Endurance exercise 3 times weekly for 45 minutes, 4 weeks long

Exercise

Teaching of techniques to reduce fatigue and to improve stamina

Cognitive behavioural therapy

Fernando Dimeo, MD

The investigators compare the effects of two interventions, an endurance exercise program and a cognitive behavioural therapy, on the fatigue, quality of life, mood and physical performance of patients with a cancer-related fatigue syndrome. The intervention will be carried out for 4 weeks. Tests will be carried out at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Physical training three times a week for 20 week including endurance and strength training compare to the "as usual" group as controls

Physical training

As usual

Elisabeth Edvardsen, PhD

The purpose of the study is to investigate the change in pulmonary function and exercise capacity in lung cancer patients after pulmonary resection. Furthermore, to study the effect of training on aerobic capacity, muscular strength, morbidity and survival. Physical activity level by accelerometers, body composition by DXA and quality of life will also be reported.

Five year after surgery, all included patients will be reinvited to undergo a fourth health excame to study the long-term effects of exercise training on physical fitness, morbidity and survival.

Fitness, Activity and Lung Cancer Study

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Effect of Training After Lung Cancer Surgery. A Randomized Controlled Trial

Change in body composition from before to after surgery and after the intervention

Change in quality of life from before to after surgery and after the intervention

Physical activity will be objectively measured by accelerometers for seven consecutive days to determine change in activity level after surgery

Change in VO2max from before to after surgery to measure the effect of surgery, and after six months to measure the effect of high-intensity training intervention, and after five years to study long-term effects

Change in pulmonary function from before to after surgery and after the intervention
