Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a child with pulmonary-artery hypertension, the best option would be a low-impact activity that does not cause heavy exertion or strain on the heart and lungs. Golf would be a suitable choice as it is a moderate-intensity activity that involves walking and some upper body movement without causing excessive fatigue. Basketball, cross-country running, and soccer involve high-intensity physical activity and may not be well-tolerated by a child with pulmonary-artery hypertension.
