Primary Outcome Measures:
  • submaximal functional capacity [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline in functional capacity at seven days and thirty days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    functional capacity evaluated by six-minute walk test


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • capacity functional [ Time Frame: evaluated 40 days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    cardiopulmonary exercise testing ( VO2)

  • respiratory muscle strength [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline in respiratory muscle strength at seven days and thirty days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Both PImax and PEmax were obtained using a pressure transducer

  • lung function [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline in lung function at seven days and thirty days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    assessed by spirometry (FVC and FEV1)
