Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a 12-week individualized exercise program on lung cancer patients who had a lobectomy, assessing improvements in cardiorespiratory function, muscular strength, and quality of life.
- Participants were divided into two groups: lung cancer patients post-lobectomy (9 individuals) and patients with other cancers (201 individuals), both of whom experienced significant improvements in fitness, strength, and quality of life after the intervention.
- Results showed that while both groups improved, lung cancer patients who had undergone lobectomy had notable benefits, particularly in fitness and strength, although they did not improve significantly in depression measures like the other cancer group.
