Purpose After the Fontan procedure, children exhibit reduced peak exercise capacity, yet
their submaximal exercise response remains unclear. This study sought to determine the
relationship between submaximal and peak exercise capacity and physical activity in Fontan
patients. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited 50 Fontan patients (59% males) with
a median age of 9 yr (range= 6-12 yr). The median age at Fontan procedure was 2.9 yr
(range= 1.6-9.1 yr). Study assessments included medical history, exercise testing, and …
