Comparing the Impact of Multimodal Prehabilitation to Aerobic Training on Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic Lobectomy

In recent years, many studies have shown that prehabilitation based on aerobic training strategies could have a positive effect on the recovery of postoperative functional capacity in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. Investigators are proposing a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare the impact of a short home-based multimodal prehabilitation strategy to preoperative aerobic training on patients scheduled for video-assisted thorascopic lobectomy for lung cancer. The multimodal prehabilitation strategy includes guided aerobic and resistance exercise, breathing exercises, nutrition supplement and physiology management preoperatively, while the aerobic strategy offers the same aerobic training guidance without the other parts. The prehabilitation lasts 2-3 weeks in our center. Investigators follow-up patients until 30 days after surgery, to investigate whether multimodal prehabilitation strategy differs from aerobic training program in postoperative functional capability improvement, health-related quality of life scorings, incidence of postoperative complications and other outcomes.
