Musculoskeletal and cardiovascular considerations for transgender athletes
Phys Sportsmed. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1080/00913847.2024.2342230. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParticipation in athletics is essential for the overall well-being of transgender athletes and should be included as part of gender-affirming care. Surveys show physicians and athletic trainers want to provide appropriate care for transgender athletes but lack the proper knowledge and training to do so. Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) is part of gender-affirming care, yet the effects of GAHT on the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health of transgender athletes is not well-understood. The purpose of this review was to d...
