Peak Work Rate Increases With Lower Extremity‐Focused Exercise Training in Adolescents With Fontan Circulation

Background Skeletal muscle deficits are associated with worse exercise performance in the Fontan circulation and may be improved by exercise training. We aimed to assess the change in leg lean mass (a marker of skeletal muscle), exercise performance, and functional health status after a lower extrem...
