Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of a telemedicine-based structured home exercise program on frailty and exercise capacity in individuals with Fontan heart physiology, demonstrate that a telemedicine exercise program reduces socioeconomic and geographic barriers to access to exercise training, and to explore the impact of a structured exercise program on markers of Fontan-associated liver disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will require two in-person visits to the exercise physiology lab as well as virtual follow-up visits. Visit one will require participants to complete a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), liver ultrasound, 6-minute walk, grip strength test, arm circumference measure, body composition analysis, anthropometrics measurement, surveys and a biomarker blood sample collection. The second in-person visit will require participants to complete a final cardiopulmonary exercise test, liver ultrasound, 6-minute walk, grip strength test and arm circumference, biomarker blood sample and final survey.

Home exercise program

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home exercise program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will complete a 6-month prescription telemedicine-based structured home exercise program. Baseline information will be used to develop a personalized home exercise program. This program will involve downloading the MyDataHelps application on a mobile device to securely collect wearable device information like step counts, activity minutes, and heart rate. Additionally, participants will have multiple virtual visits as well as the 2 in-person visits.
