Safety and Feasibility of an Exercise Intervention for Patients Following Lung Resection: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusions. Exercise intervention performed in the inpatient and outpatient settings for individuals following lung resection was safe and feasible. The uptake rate for outpatient exercise was 57%, similar to previous trials; however, adherence was excellent within the subgroup of participants who attended. Further research is required to investigate the best setting of exercise delivery and explore ways to improve the uptake rate.
