Short-Term Preoperative High-Intensity Interval Training in Patients Awaiting Lung Cancer Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
2017
Journal of Thoracic Oncology
Impairment in aerobic fitness is a potential modifiable risk factor for postoperative complications. In this randomized controlled trial, we hypothesized that a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program enhances cardiorespiratory fitness before lung cancer surgery and therefore reduces the risk of postoperative complications. Methods: Patients with operable lung cancer were randomly assigned to usual care (UC) (n ¼ 77) or preoperative rehabilitation based on HIIT (Rehab) (n ¼ 74). Maximal
