Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) from baseline
Change in VO2max from before to after surgery to measure the effect of surgery, and after six months to measure the effect of high-intensity training intervention, and after five years to study long-term effects
An expected average of two weeks before surgery (baseline), four to six weeks after surgery, after six months and after 5 years
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Change in Pulmonary function from baseline
Pulmonary function is measured three times; an expected average of two weeks before surgery, four to six weeks after surgery, after after six months and after five years.
Other Outcomes (3)
DXA scan
An expected average of two weeks before surgery, four to six weeks after surgery, after six months and after five years
Quality of life
Measured three times: An expected average of two weeks before surgery, four to six weeks after surgery, after six months and after five years
Physical activity
Measured three times: six weeks after surgery, after six months and after five years
Study Arms (2)
Physical training
OTHERExercise intervention.
As usual
OTHERControls
Interventions
Physical training three times a week for 20 week including endurance and strength training compare to the "as usual" group as controls
