Summary

There is no study evaluating online exercise training and results in children with pacemakers. This study investigates the effects of group exercise training performed via computer online videoconferencing in pediatric arrhythmia patients with pacemakers. Pediatric arrhythmia patients aged 6-18 years with a pacemaker, stable clinically, and living with at least one parent or caregiver who can support them at home will be included in the study. Eligible patients will be randomly divided into two groups. After the face-to-face evaluation session, those in the intervention group will receive real-time online exercise training for 30 minutes, three days a week, with a peer group of 5-6 people for eight weeks. Physical activity will be monitored for seven days before starting the exercise and seven days after the training is completed. After the first face-to-face evaluation session, patients in the control group and their families will receive a 1-hour disease- and exercise-specific patient education program. Information brochures containing physical activity and exercise recommendations will be given. They will be followed up with weekly phone calls throughout the study period.

Patient Education

After the first face-to-face evaluation session, these patients and their families will receive a 1-hour patient education program specific to the disease and exercise. Information brochures containing physical activity and exercise recommendations will be given. They will be followed up with weekly phone calls throughout the study period. At the end of 8 weeks, the second evaluation interview will be held. Afterward, the patients in the control group will be able to participate in the online exercise training program if they request it.
