Does systematic supervised physical training improve peak oxygen uptake and psychosocial factors in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease?
Systematic supervised physical training improves exercise capacity and psychosocial outcomes in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease.
Fredriksen et al. (2000) studied congenital heart disease (n=129). systematic supervised physical training vs. control group was evaluated on peak level of oxygen, physical activity, and psychosocial factors. Systematic supervised physical training improved peak oxygen uptake, physical activity, and psychosocial internalizing scores in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease.
