Summary
This study tested whether a live, video-supervised exercise program (a mix of aerobic and strength training) could improve fitness in children and teens aged 8-19 who have had Fontan surgery for a single ventricle (half a heart). 150 participants were randomly assigned to the exercise program or usual care. The main goal was to see if exercise could increase peak oxygen use during exertion, a key measure of heart and lung fitness. The study aims to help reduce long-term health risks in this growing population.
