Abstract

Trial Registration: German Clinical Trials Register (ID: DRKS00025276) on September 6, 2021.

What Is Known: • Oesophageal atresia is associated with a low body weight and height, delayed development of motor skills and impaired lung function and exercise capacity.

What Is New: • Patients with oesophageal atresia have a similar amount of sports activity per week but engage significantly less in moderate to vigorous physical activities compared to peers. • Physical activity was associated with weight-for-age and height-for-age, but largely independent of symptom load and other medical factors.
