Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • cardiopulmonary fitness

    The post-training change in cardiorespiratory fitness will be measured by the VO2peak in ml/kg/min.VO2peak will be evaluated by a cardiopulmonary exercise test.

    baseline,2 weeks

  • pulmonary function

    Pulmonary function will be measured as the first step of the CPET. Predicted postoperative (PPO) lung functions will be calculated by the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1). Pulmonary function in patients scheduled for wedge resection will be assessed as a predicted percentage of FEV1. Whereas participants planning to have segmentectomy or lobectomy will be evaluated with PPO FEV1 as a percentage of predicted value.

    baseline,2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • postoperative complications

    1 week postoperative

  • postoperative mortality

    3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years postoperative

  • patient-reported outcomes

    baseline,2 weeks, 1 week postoperative, 1 month postoperative and 3 months postoperative

Study Arms (3)

Moderate-intensity Continuous Training (MICT) Group

EXPERIMENTAL

MICT plan is containing usual care protocol and additional complete a total of 12 supervised moderate-intensity continuous training sessions in 2-3 weeks.

Behavioral: moderate-intensity continuous training

High-intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Group

EXPERIMENTAL

HIIT plan is containing usual care protocol and additional complete a total of 12 supervised high-intensity interval training training sessions in 2-3 weeks.

Behavioral: high-intensity interval training

Usual care group

NO INTERVENTION

Usual care is including smoking cessation instruction, respiratory exercise, review by a specialist nurse, meeting with the surgeon and anesthetist, and receiving information about preparing for surgery.

Interventions

Participants in MICT group will need to additional complete a total of 12 supervised training sessions in 2-3 weeks.After a warm-up of 5 minutes at 50% at peak WR, the patient start exercising at 60%-70% peak WR for 30-40 minutes (four 5-8 minutes sets, with a 2-min rest in between), and then the patients cooled down for 5 minutes at 50% peak WR. Moderate-intensity exercise training intensity control at 55-74% HRmax or 40-69% VO2peak or PRE12-13 as recommended by guidelines.

Also known as: MICT
Moderate-intensity Continuous Training (MICT) Group

Participants in HIIT group will need to additional complete a total of 12 supervised training sessions in 2-3 weeks.After a 5-minute warm-up at 50% at peak WR, the patients complete 20 series of vigorous-intensity sprint (80%-100% peak WR for 30-60s) separated by a low-intensity recovery (30% peak WR or completely rest for 15s), and then the patients cooled down for 5 minutes at 50% peak WR. Participants will begin training at a relatively moderate intensity (60%-65% peak WR) for the first 3 sessions and gradually increase to the target intensity beginning on the 4th session. Intensity control of high-intensity exercise training at 75-90% HRmax or 70-85% VO2peak or PRE14-16 as recommended by guidelines.
