abstract = {Objective: To assess the effects of proactive physical activity (PA) programs on lung cancer patients undergoing
lung resection at short and mid-term.
Methods: We conducted a literature search through MEDLINE, Science Direct, Web of Science, and the Cochrane
Library (last search October 2023). The GRADE System and the Cochrane tool were applied to quality assessment.
The included studies focused on the application of proactive PA interventions among lung cancer surgical
patients compared to usual or standard care. We performed a meta-analysis addressing hospital stay, cancerrelated
symptoms, quality of life, and exercise capacity at short and mid-term.
Results: We selected 9 studies, which included 798 lung cancer patients. Proactive interventions were applied in
combination with respiratory training and exercise in most of the studies. The treatment status was heterogeneous.
Significant results in favour of proactive interventions were observed for hospital stay, cancer-related
symptoms, quality of life, and short and mid-term exercise capacity.
Conclusions: Proactive PA interventions showed positive effects for reducing length stay, enhancing exercise
capacity at short and mid-term, alleviating cancer-related symptoms, and improving the quality of life for lung
cancer surgical patients.
Practice Implications: Proactive interventions can optimize the timing and setting of PA results around lung
surgical treatment.},
