Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Physical fitness, examined during the incremental cycling test. In addition, activity patterns of the children for a period of 7 days will be registered using an activity monitor. Using these data, insight is provided into the background of the possible differences in physical fitness and physical characteristics between the several congenital heart diseases and between congenital heart disease and controls.	—
