Abstract
Improvements in parent-proxy report HRQOL and objective measures of exercise capacity after completion of a home-based 12-week physical activity program were sustained at 6-month follow-up. Despite improvements in exercise capacity, patients did not report improved HRQOL. A larger, controlled study of this home-based physical activity program is needed to assess the impact of physical activity and improved exercise capacity on HRQOL in children with Fontan circulation.
