Exercise programs in childhood HTRs, however, have not been well studied. Our group has developed a home-based, video-game linked exercise bike that allows for a live video-feed along with heart tracing, and oxygen saturation monitoring (the MedBIKETM). We have established a MedBIKETM program for children born with severe forms of heart disease. We are now seeking to study this in childhood HTRs.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, we will include 10-18 year old HTRs followed at the Stollery Children\u2019s Hospital. Participants will undergo a baseline assessment of their fitness and physical activity levels, and questionnaires will be provided to evaluate their attitudes towards physical activity and their health-related quality of life. Participants will then be randomly assigned to a MedBIKETM or regular care (control) group. The MedBIKETM group will begin a 12-week home-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program. Following the program, a follow-up assessment (identical to the baseline assessment) will be performed for the MedBIKETM and control group participants. The groups will then switch, so that the control group starts the MedBIKETM program and the original MedBIKETM group returns to usual care. A second follow-up assessment will then be performed for all participants at the completion of the second 12-weeks.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">It is our hope that the findings from this innovative study will provide important information to help us build upon our work, in our pursuit to support active, healthy living in pediatric HTRs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more about Michael, a new member of CDTRP <a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/new-member-profile-dr-michael-khoury\/\">here<\/a> and follow him on Twitter (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/makhoury\">@makhoury<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/2021-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant-competition\/\">View the\u00a0results of the 2021 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants winners here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":12061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12059"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12059"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24762,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12059\/revisions\/24762"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
