Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A secondary aim is to investigate the effect of a training program with pre- and post- operative PA on the rate of resumption of QoL and normal physical function.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pre and postoperative exercise
The intervention is prehabilitation preoperatively and physical training postoperatively. During the hospital stay both groups will be treated in the same manner.
Preoperative intervention:
One half hour of exercise daily added to the existing daily exercise routine. The level of exercise should produce shortness of breath but the patient should be able to talk without much effort.
Inspiratory muscle training. Thirty breaths x two twice daily. Postoperative intervention is mainly the same as preoperatively.
Physical activity
The intervention will take place both pre- and postoperatively. During the hospital stay both groups will be treated in the same manner.
Control
Standard treatment with one exception, patients will fill in a physical activity diary
No interventions assigned to this group
