Fontan Fitness Trial

The Fontan Circulation is associated with poor exercise performance and reduced quality of life. Current standard of care encourages physical activity (PA) in this population, but few structured interventions exist. Participants will be randomly assigned to either enhanced usual care (PA tracker and standard encouragement) or an interactive digital intervention that includes personalized aerobic and resistance exercises with behavioral engagement strategies. This study will evaluate a home-based, digital intervention delivered through a mobile health platform to promote PA and improve fitness among youth with FC. The study will recruit up to 200 participants aged 10-17 years with FC. After initial testing and a two-week run-in period, 120 participants with peak VO2 between 45% and 80% of predicted norms will be randomized. The intervention will last 6 months, followed by a 5.5-month monitoring phase. Outcomes will include changes in PA (measured via accelerometry), peak VO2, muscle strength, body composition, and quality of life.
