Abstract
Purpose: To explore the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and other physical literacy domains in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) or congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: In 28 children with CF (n = 10) or CHD (n = 18), aged 7 to 11 years, cardiorespiratory fitness and the following physical literacy domains were measured: (a) physical competence, (b) motivation and confidence, (c) knowledge and understanding, and (d) daily behavior (ie, self-perceived moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]). Results: Cardiorespiratory fitness was significantly associated with motivation and confidence and self-perceived MVPA. There were no other significant associations. Conclusions: Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with self-perceived MVPA, motivation, and confidence in children with CF or CHD.
