This feasibility study will assess whether a 6-month, home-based, parent-led physical activity program, completed after surgical or catheterization treatment, enables young children with congenital heart defects (CHD) to achieve the recommended 180 minutes of daily physical activity. This study includes comprehensive measures of motor skill and physical activity, intervening at a very young age, and targeting the high risk status for sedentary lifestyles of children with CHD. This study will provide essential data on patient recruitment, data collection procedures, the proposed physical activity intervention and resources required to enable the design of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate play-based, parent-delivered interventions optimized to support age-appropriate physical activity and motor skills among young children with CHD.
