Research Article: Home-based long-term physical endurance and inspiratory muscle training in children and adults with Fontan circulation
Abstract:
Background and study aim: Regular physical activity is highly recommended for patients with Fontan hemodynamics. Our aim was to investigate the effects of a long-term individualized home-based endurance training (IHET) on a bicycle ergometer in combination with inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in pediatric and adult patients after Fontan palliation. Additionally, factors influencing the trainability of Fontan palliated patients were analyzed.
