Web-Based Motor Intervention to Increase Health-Related Physical Fitness in Children With Congenital Heart Disease: A Study Protocol

摘要

Objective: Exercise interventions are underutilized in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) especially when the primary outcome is not peak oxygen uptake. Most of the studies are restricted to a low sample size and proximity of the patients to the study centers. Now eHealth approaches bear a promising but also challenging opportunity to transmit such intervention programs to participants, and check progress and compliance from remote. This study will aim to improve health-related physical fitness (HRPF) with a 24 weeks web-based exercise intervention.
