Telephone-based Physical Activity Coaching or Self Monitored Physical Activity to Improve Physical Function in Older Adults Who Are Undergoing Surgery for Lung Cancer and Their Caregivers

This clinical trial compares telephone-based physical activity coaching to self monitored physical activity for improving physical function in older adults who are undergoing surgery for lung cancer and their caregivers. Lung cancer surgery in older adults is associated with functional declines and unique challenges. Performing physical activity around the time …

The Impact of a Resistance Training Intervention on Blood Pressure Control in Older Adults With Sarcopenia

Current prevention and treatment of high blood pressure (BP) in sarcopenia, by non-pharmacological approaches remain limited and are far from optimal. This randomized control intervention pilot study will provide new evidence of the unexplored relationship between muscle strength and high BP in sarcopenia, and experimentally test the effects of an …

Implementation of an Early Rehabilitation Program for the Patient With Lung Transplantation: From the ICU to Home.

Improvement will be observed through functional scales (6MWT), muscle dynamometry, manual muscle test (MRC-SumScore), bioimpedanciometry, inspiratory and maximal expiratory pressures, spirometry, frailty and sarcopenia tests and a long-term Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing. Expected Outcomes: Patients who perform the experimental group are expected to have an early discharge from the ICU and …
