Register your interest in research project: Uncovering the effects of gender affirming hormone therapy on fitness & muscle health
We are seeking volunteers over 18 years old who are:
- starting gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT)
- have been on GAHT for 2+ years
- or those not undergoing GAHT and would like to participate as the comparator groups.
We will be exploring the effects of GAHT on measures of fitness and muscle health over a 6 and 12 month time period.
Participation will involve attending testing sessions at each time point (0 months, 6 months and 12 months) at Victoria University, Footscray Park campus.
To take part in the study, and receive the benefits of free exercise testing, participants need to meet these criteria:
- aged 18 years or older not currently on GAHT
- aged 18 years or older not currently on GAHT but planning to commence hormones
- aged 18 years or older and have been on GAHT for 2+ years
- not a current smoker.
