Abstract	Congenital malformations of the heart and vessels occur in five to nine per 1,000 live births.1,2 Some of these malformations (10-15%) do not require correction. Between 70 and 80% of defects can be corrected, and an increasing number of therapeutic procedures can be performed by interventional catheterisation techniques, avoiding the need for open heart surgery.1 Definitive therapeutic procedures are increasingly carried out in early infancy in order to avoid long-term complications resulting from the haemodynamic burden or from chronic cyanosis.3 Progress in the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) has led to a dramatic reduction of mortality.4 With improved survival, the focus of follow-up care has to shift from assessment of procedure-related mortality towards assessment of long-term quality of life. Preventative diagnostics and treatment have to be initiated early, aiming to find deficits and alleviate them through the use of specific measures. Motor development is one of the fields on which diagnostics and treatment must focus.5 Increased attention should also be given to the question of whether and to what extent physical activity should be recommended in order to improve quality of life. This article focuses on the impact of physical activity on motor development in children with congenital malformations of the heart. Einleitung.
