First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether online group exercise training could help children aged 6-18 with pacemakers become more active and improve their strength and quality of life. 36 children were split into two groups: one did online exercise sessions three times a week for eight weeks, while the other received only education and phone support. The study measured steps, exercise capacity, and muscle strength to see if the online program made a difference.
