Brief Summary

The first part of the study is an observational part. In eligible patients with early stage respiratory cancer, the primary and secondary endpoints will be evaluated before and after their scheduled radical cancer therapy. The measured variables, include a blood sample, pulmonary function tests, level of dyspnea, exercise tests, measurement of body composition, respiratory and peripheral muscle force, health related quality of life and psychological status. Only registered participants having completed a radical treatment and having either less than 70% of the predicted normal value of the quadriceps force (QF) or a decrease of more than 10% predicted value of the QF between pre-and post radical treatment, will be allowed to participate to the second part of the study. These patients will then be randomized in three groups. Group A, the control group, will have the usual care and follow up according to clinical symptoms. Group B will be offered a conventional resistance training program (CRT), and group C, will be offered a whole body vibration resistance training (WBV) on the FITVIBE-platform. All previous variables will be measured after 6 and 12 weeks of training.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer or mesothelioma candidate for radical treatment
  • either by surgical resection with or without perioperative chemotherapy
  • or by thoracic radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy
  • Between 18 and 80 years of age
  • Written informed consent
  • Supplementary criteria for PART II:
  • Treatment for their cancer considered radical
  • either by surgical resection with or without perioperative chemotherapy
  • or by thoracic radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy
  • having less than 70% of the predicted normal value of the Quadriceps Force (QF) or a decrease of more than 10% predicted value of the QF between the baseline and post-radical therapy measurement of QF
  • Post treatment assessment maximum 14 days after radical treatment or between 6th and 8th week after radical treatment if the latter consists only of surgical resection

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients presenting with one or more of the following will be excluded:
