Overview
Brief Summary
Previous Studies Indicate That a Substantial Proportion of the Congenital Heart Disease Patients Has Unhealthy Lifestyle Behaviors, Such as Smoking, Lack of Physical Activity, and Inadequate Dietary Patterns, Leading to the Development of Metabolic Disorders Such as Overweight/Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Chronic Diseases Such as Cardiovascular Disease. Another Highly Prevalent Risk Factor in These Patients is Sedentary Behavior; These Patients Are Not Encouraged to Engage in Sports and Exercise During Childhood Due to Their Cardiac Condition, Leading to a Progressive Decrease in Physical Capacity. Studies Have Shown That Congenital Heart Disease Patients Are Not Active Enough and That a Substantial Amount of Patients is Overweight.This Study is a Randomized Controlled Trial That Investigates the Effects of the Home Based Program Physical Training, in the Exercise Capacity, Quality of Life and Body Composition.
Detailed Description
The objective of the study was to verify the effect of home physical training on improving physical capacity, body composition, quality of life, metabolic markers in patients with congenital heart disease.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Improvement exercise tolerance and functional capacity (peak VO2)
Time Frame: Baseline to 3 months
Change in functional capacity will be performed by cardiopulmonary exercise test and will be expressed by Peak VO2 and Predicted Peak VO2 (%). After the training program, an increase in the peak VO2(mL/kg/min) value between 10 to 15% is expected in relation to the baseline value.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in quality of life measurement(Baseline to 3 months)
- Improvement in peripheral blood flow post exercise training program(Baseline to 3 months)
- Change in body composition measurement(Baseline to 3 months)
