No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Adults with complex congenital heart disease have impaired muscle function compared both to health controls and patients with lesions classified as simple. There is only one study assessing the effects of resistance training in patients palliated with Fontan procedure. The hypotheses of the present study is that home based resistance training will improve muscle function in adults with different complex congenital hear diseases.

Conditions

  • Congenital Heart Defect

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Home based resistance training

The participants in the intervention group will receive an individualized resistance training program. The individual adjustments in load will will be made from the results of the muscle function and muscle strength tests. The resistance training will be home based and performed 3 times per week 10-12 reps 2 sets 12 weeks. Increment of load will be performed continuously according to rating of perceived exertion.
