Intervention(s)

Participants are randomly allocated to one of two groups, the intervention group and the control group.
Both groups will undergo a pancreatectomy. The surgical procedure will be open and according to the location of the tumor the patient will undergo a Longmire Traverso/Whipple operation (pancreatoduodenectomy) or distal pancreatectomy with or without preservation of the spleen. Four weeks after the operation the participants in the intervention group will start to exercise, which involves 30 minutes on a static bicycle (60% of maximum heart rate) for 12 weeks. The participants in the control group do not start to exercise.
Primary Outcome(s)
Measurement of blood glucose levels, HBA1c, albumin and uric acid, 12 weeks after the initiation of exercise (once every 4 weeks interval)
