To investigate physical activity, sports participation and aerobic fitness in children who have undergone surgery for congenital heart defects.
Children who had undergone surgery for congenital heart defects and healthy controls in the Gothenburg area were invited to participate in the study. All participants were aged 9-11 or 14-16 years. The activity monitor ActiReg was used to assess physical activity. Participants were interviewed about their participation in sports and performed a maximal exercise test on a bicycle with measured oxygen uptake.
A total of 32 and 25 patients, and 61 and 45 controls, in the two age-groups were included, respectively. The patients had a wide range of severity of congenital heart defects. The physical activity level was similar in the patients and the controls. The rate of sports participation was high for both patients and controls; 80-94% of all participants took part in sports at least once a week. The majority of the patients were considered to have at least a moderate level of aerobic fitness.
Although children who have undergone surgery for congenital heart defects have a similar level of physical activity compared with that of healthy children, some of them may require support to participate in exercise and vigorous physical activity.
调查接受先天性心脏缺陷手术的儿童的身体活动、体育参与情况和有氧适能。
邀请哥德堡地区接受先天性心脏缺陷手术的儿童和健康对照参与研究。所有参与者年龄在9至11岁或14至16岁之间。使用活动监测仪ActiReg评估身体活动。就参与者的体育参与情况进行访谈，并在自行车上进行最大运动测试，测量摄氧量。
两个年龄组分别纳入了32例和25例患者，以及61例和45例对照。患者先天性心脏缺陷的严重程度范围广泛。患者和对照的身体活动水平相似。患者和对照的体育参与率都很高；所有参与者中有80%至94%至少每周参加一次体育活动。大多数患者被认为至少具有中等水平的有氧适能。
尽管接受先天性心脏缺陷手术的儿童与健康儿童的身体活动水平相似，但他们中的一些人可能需要支持才能参与运动和剧烈的身体活动。
