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.
