We aimed to investigate daily physical activity in adults with tetralogy of Fallot and to investigate the underlying determinants of physical activity in daily life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951112001898_abs2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We studied 73 patients with tetralogy of Fallot (53 male; mean age 27.3 \u00b1 7.9 years) who underwent echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and who completed questionnaires about physical activity and perceived health status. All variables were compared with data from a general population.

Peak oxygen uptake (71 \u00b1 16%; p &lt; 0.0001) was significantly reduced and related to reduced physical activity levels (r = 0.229; p = 0.017) and perceived physical functioning (r = 0.361; p = 0.002).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951112001898_abs4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot have a sedentary lifestyle and are less active than the general population. Inactivity significantly contributes to reduced exercise capacity, in addition to the impairment based on the cardiac condition. Moreover, reduced exercise capacity and the intensity of sports performed in daily life are related to perceived physical functioning. Individual patient counselling on physical activity might be a low-cost, high-benefit measure to be taken in this patient population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951112001898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,20]],"date-time":"2012-11-20T13:44:16Z","timestamp":1353419056000},"page":"20-26","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Determinants of physical activity in young adults with tetralogy of Fallot"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Roselien","family":"Buys","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Werner","family":"Budts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christophe","family":"Delecluse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luc","family":"Vanhees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00392-011-0364-6"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.104.529800"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref13","first-page":"219","article-title":"Excercise physiology in health and disease","volume":"112","author":"Wasserman","year":"1975","journal-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HJR.0b013e32808621b9"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehn531"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2010.08.021"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.2008.01152.x"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2006.12.076"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0166-4328(01)00297-2"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/heart.88.1.71"},{"key":"S1047951112001898_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Takken T , Giardini A , Reybrouck T , et al.
