Conditions

Summary

Patients included in the study will be randomly divided into 2 groups using appropriate randomization programs. All patients will be given exercise training individually for 24 sessions using a bicycle ergometer under the supervision of a physiotherapist.Patients in the first group will be given exercise training on a bicycle ergometer for 5 minutes warm-up phase at 40% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), 20 minutes exercise phase at 60% of VO2max and 5 minutes cool down phase at 40% of VO2max for a total of 30 minutes. Patients in the second group will be given a warm-up phase for 3 minutes at 50% VO2max, 1 minute at 80-100% VO2max and 1 minute at 50% VO2max in 10 cycles, and finally a cool-down phase for 3 minutes at 50% VO2max. In total, 25 minutes of low-volume high-intensity intermittent exercise training will be given on a bicycle ergometer.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a short but intense exercise program called low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can safely improve fitness, lung function, and quality of life in people who have had surgery for non-small cell lung cancer and completed their initial recovery. The exercise sessions are brief but involve high-effort bursts of activity. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (stage 3A or earlier) - You had surgery for your lung cancer at least 6 months ago - You have finished chemotherapy or radiation (if given) at least 6 months ago - Your cancer is in remission with no signs of recurrence - You are clinically stable **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You had a pneumonectomy (removal of an entire lung) - You have significant heart or lung disease (e.g., severe COPD) - You have an orthopedic or neurological problem that prevents exercise - Your cancer has returned or you have active cancer Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALLow Volume High Intensity Exercise Training

Patients in the intervention group will be given a warm-up phase for 3 minutes at 50% VO2max, 1 minute at 80-100% VO2max and 1 minute at 50% VO2max in 10 cycles, and finally a cool-down phase for 3 minutes at 50% VO2max.

BEHAVIORALAerobic Exercise Training

Patients in the control group will be given exercise training on a bicycle ergometer for 5 minutes warm-up phase at 40% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), 20 minutes exercise phase at 60% of VO2max and 5 minutes cool down phase at 40% of VO2max for a total of 30 minutes.
