Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Proportion and characteristics of patients who decreased exercise capacity beyond minimal clinically important difference (a decrease of more than -40 m in the 6-minute walk test) between the start of irradiation and 4-8 weeks after the start of irradiation.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Relationship between exercise capacity and physical activity, sarcopenia, fatigue, cachexia, and quality of life, and these changes.	—
