Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Patients with lung cancer have poor physical activity and increased sedentary behavior, with the presence of high levels of fatigue. A randomized controlled trial will be carried out to compare usual care versus a personalized exercise program in the community, in order to explore the changes on physical activity and sedentary behavior and its impact on cancer-related fatigue.

- Control Group
- description
- The control group will follow the conventional protocol established by the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) for the treatment of lung cancer. In addition, physical activity guidelines will be recommended with the aim of encouraging patients to lead a more active life that helps them improve their physical capabilities. The research team will meet individually with participants in the control group and inform them about the importance of physical activity, motivating them to practice regularly.

- Experimental Group
- description
- Motivational interviews will be used to help identify individual motivations, barriers, and preferences towards physical activity (PA). Objectives and personalized exercise regimens (e.g. walking, cycling, nordic walking) with a person-centered approach. Patients will engage in a minimum of 3 PA sessions/week (45min each) for 6 months, reporting via a phone app. Weekly patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) will track progress. The first 3 months involve group sessions for instruction and correction; the last 3 months include one monthly in-person session combining resistance and aerobic training, with a duration of 1.5 hours. To drive behavior change, personalized weekly challenges will be presented.
