Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.
