Children With Congenital Heart Disease Who Volunteer for Physical Activity Research Tend to Have Higher Activity Adequacy and Participation Aligned With Activity Recommendations
Research volunteers may be more likely to achieve daily physical activity recommendations. Child volunteers tend to be more confident in their ability to participate successfully. Cardiologist reported activity restrictions may provide confidence regarding appropriate types of activity, leading children and adolescents to take more steps each day. Physical activity research participants and those with cardiologist reported activity restrictions may not reflect those most in need of additional support.
