Most patients with congenital heart diseases profit from physical activity and physical exercise training. Physical activity improves exercise capacity and, therefore, reduces the risk of suffering from cardiovascular and chronic diseases. Patients with former congenital heart diseases have reduced...

Physical activity improves exercise capacity and, therefore, reduces the risk of suffering from cardiovascular and chronic diseases. Patients with former congenital heart diseases have reduced physical capacity compared to the healthy population despite having no hemodynamic sequelae.

Specific restrictions should only be addressed in case of medical issues.
