Brief Summary: | |

| --- |

|Postoperative cardiac rehabilitation could play a role in the promotion of physical activity, but unlike the widespread use of postoperative cardiac rehabilitation in adults, rehabilitation programs are not part of routine care for children after heart surgery to support an active lifestyle or good physical fitness.

There are evidences which have reported that children with CHD are less active compared to their peers and more likely to be overweight

There may be reluctance on the part of patients, their parents and/or health care providers based on fear of risks or side effects, lack of knowledge on the potential benefits, or absence of pediatric cardiac rehabilitation services.

Despite the potential benefits of physical activity and exercise and ensuing practice recommendations, it remains unclear which factors play a role in this relative underuse Hence an attempt will be made to find out physical activity levels, facilitators and barriers for physical activity in childrenâ€™s undergone surgery for CHD
