Background Survival of patients with congenital heart disease has improved such that there
are now more adults than children living with these conditions. Complex single ventricle …

Physical activity tends to be lower in school-age children with congenital heart disease than
in healthy controls. To the best of our knowledge, objectively measured physical activity …

Introduction: We evaluated the safety and feasibility of high-intensity interval training via a
novel telemedicine ergometer (MedBIKE™) in children with Fontan physiology. Methods …

Children with complex congenital heart disease are less active than recommended for
optimal health, with social and physical environments important determinants. The purpose …

Objective We previously described lower leg lean mass Z-scores (LLMZ) in Fontan patients
associated with worse peak oxygen consumption on metabolic exercise testing. We …

Aim A growing number of patients with Fontan circulation are reaching adulthood, and there
is increasing concern about their physical performance and quality of life. This study …

Children born with univentricular hearts undergo staged surgical procedures to a Fontan
circulation. Long‐term experience with Fontan palliation has shown dramatically improved …

In this manuscript, we describe the design and rationale of a randomized controlled trial in
pediatric Fontan patients to test the hypothesis that a live-video-supervised exercise …

Patients with CHD are less active if compared with controls and have limited functional
capacity, related to muscle weakness and fatigue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the active lifestyle capacity (daily physical activity,
strength, flexibility, body composition) of children after the Fontan procedure; hypothesized …
