The aim of this study was to improve understanding of exercise medicine training needs for pediatric cardiology fellows. A survey was sent via email to all (N = 63) pediatric cardiology training program directors in the United States to evaluate the perceived exercise training needs of pediatric cardiology fellows. The survey consisted of multiple-choice responses as well as a few open-ended responses. A 60% response rate was achieved. 74% of programs did not have a pre-existing exercise core program. This type of training was felt to be important or very important in 84%. A wide variability of time allotted for exercise training exists amongst programs from < 1 week to > 4 weeks, with 2 weeks being most common. There was no consensus on a target number of total exercise tests nor types of tests in which fellows should participate. Preferred methods in training consisted of lectures and online media. Less preferred methods of teaching methods included dedicated reading of a handbook, a dedicated rotation, or live webinars. There was general support to develop exercise training competencies as well as the associated online learning materials with a focus on competency rather than target numbers. There is a need for educational recommendations for exercise training in pediatric cardiology fellowships as well as a unified method of achieving competencies.
本研究旨在增进对儿科心脏病学研究员运动医学培训需求的了解。通过电子邮件向美国所有（N=63）儿科心脏病学培训项目主任发送了一份调查，以评估儿科心脏病学研究员对运动培训的感知需求。该调查包括多项选择题和一些开放式回答。我们收到了 60%的回复。74%的项目没有预先存在的运动核心课程。84%的人认为这种培训非常重要或重要。各项目分配给运动训练的时间差异很大，从<1 周到>4 周不等，其中 2 周最为常见。对于学员应参加的总运动测试次数或测试类型，没有达成共识。培训中首选的方法是讲座和在线媒体。不太受欢迎的教学方法包括专门阅读手册、专门的轮转或现场网络研讨会。人们普遍支持制定运动训练能力以及相关在线学习材料，重点是能力而不是目标数量。儿科心脏病学研究员运动培训需要教育建议，以及实现能力的统一方法。
