Key result
Home-based exercise interventions improved exercise capacity, including peak oxygen uptake (by 1.2% to 15%; p<0.05) and walking distance (by 3.5% to 19.5%; p<0.05), in patients with congenital heart disease.
Why the study?
Although exercise interventions benefit patients with CHD, knowledge regarding the variety and utility of existing home-based exercise programmes is lacking.
Do home-based exercise interventions improve exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with congenital heart disease?

Home-based exercise may boost CHD capacity; extends trial data while flagging adherence barriers for practice and research.
Systematic Review (n=546)
Do home-based exercise interventions improve exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with congenital heart disease?
p-value: p=<0.05
Home-based exercise interventions are safe, feasible, and improve exercise capacity in patients with congenital heart disease, though training compliance remains a challenge.
Meyer et al. (2019) conducted a systematic review in Congenital heart disease (n=546). Home-based exercise interventions was evaluated on Exercise capacity (peak oxygen uptake, walking distance, or walking time) (p=<0.05). Home-based exercise interventions improved exercise capacity, including peak oxygen uptake (by 1.2% to 15%; p<0.05) and walking distance (by 3.5% to 19.5%; p<0.05), in patients with congenital heart disease.
