The main endpoint is physiological rehabilitation after VATS-L under early mobilization. The secondary endpoints are exploring the effect of early mobilization on postoperative physiology. Investigators hypothesis that early mobilization is clearly advantaged to advance the physiological recovery.

Postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)
FEV1 is the amount of air you can force from your lungs in one second. Participants will be examed via spirometer.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
Postoperative arterial oxygen saturation.
Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. Participants will be tested via oximeter.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
The quantization of activity counts
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
The quantization of pain
The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (excruciating pain) is used to score postoperative pain.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
length of stay in hospital
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days

Postoperative complications
Pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumonia, empyema, bleeding, pulmonary embolism, prolong air leakage, re-intervention, re-surgery and re-admission will be recording specifically.
Time frame: up to 30 days
