Summary

Previous Studies Indicate That a Substantial Proportion of the Congenital Heart Disease Patients Has Unhealthy Lifestyle Behaviors, Such as Smoking, Lack of Physical Activity, and Inadequate Dietary Patterns, Leading to the Development of Metabolic Disorders Such as Overweight/Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Chronic Diseases Such as Cardiovascular Disease. Another Highly Prevalent Risk Factor in These Patients is Sedentary Behavior; These Patients Are Not Encouraged to Engage in Sports and Exercise During Childhood Due to Their Cardiac Condition, Leading to a Progressive Decrease in Physical Capacity. Studies Have Shown That Congenital Heart Disease Patients Are Not Active Enough and That a Substantial Amount of Patients is Overweight.This Study is a Randomized Controlled Trial That Investigates the Effects of the Home Based Program Physical Training, in the Exercise Capacity, Quality of Life and Body Composition.

Detailed description

The objective of the study was to verify the effect of home physical training on improving physical capacity, body composition, quality of life, metabolic markers in patients with congenital heart disease.

Conditions

• Congenital Heart Disease
• Functional Capacity
• Body Composition
• Quality of Life

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Home based exercise training	Intervention: home based physical exercise performed 4 times a week, each session lasting 40 minutes each. Aerobic and muscular resistance exercises, using body weight and elastic bands. The sessions were proposed through video classes, in total 12 video classes during the 12 weeks of physical training. Patients monitored their heart rate during exercise and wrote it down on spreadsheets that were monitored weekly.
