Can a Video-Game bike get young heart transplant patients fit?
NCT ID NCT05451979
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special exercise bike that connects to video games can help children aged 10-18 who have had a heart transplant get more fit. Ten kids will use the MedBIKE at home for 12 weeks, doing short bursts of intense exercise. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and safe, not yet to prove it improves health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MedBIKE high-intensity interval training (video-game linked exercise bike)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, home-based way to improve exercise capacity and long-term health in children after heart transplant.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study (10 kids) with no control group. It only measures if the program is practical, not whether it truly improves health outcomes.
