Summary

Children with congenital heart diseases (CHD) often show reduced health related physical fitness as well as limitations in gross and fine motor skills/development. Intervention programs in childhood are still rare and often focus just on the improvement of cardiac outcomes or exercise capacity. Web-based interventions, as a useful alternative to training manuals or supervised training, are cost effective and allow a customization of training times. Primary purpose of this study is to improve health related physical fitness in children with congenital heart disease.

Conditions

• Congenital Heart Disease
• Health Related Physical Fitness
• Motor Skills
• Cardiovascular Prevention

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Supervised web- and home-based exercise intervention	* The intervention group gets access to a training platform. Every week, 3 training videos of 20 minutes each will be released on that platform with the aim to perform those during the ongoing week. * Each exercise session is arranged in a video session with child friendly instructions and executions for the different exercises. The videos serve as a virtual training partner and exercise will be performed simultaneously while watching the video * The overall training volume is 72 session calculated from 3 sessions per week over a duration of 24 weeks (6 month)
