Summary

This study tests whether a home-based, video game-linked exercise bike (MedBIKE) can help 10 kids aged 10-18 who have had a heart transplant improve their fitness. Participants will do high-intensity interval training (short bursts of hard exercise with rest) for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and safe, with a focus on exercise capacity and long-term well-being.
