Exercise Testing to Measure Heart and Lung Fitness in Girls Aged 8 to 18 Years With Turner Syndrome

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to better understand exercise tolerance in girls aged 8 to 18 years who have Turner Syndrome. The study focuses on whether there is a difference in maximum oxygen uptake VO2 max when comparing girls with Turner Syndrome to standard values. It also examines how cardiovascular parameters like heart rate and blood pressure change during exercise. Participants will undergo a standardized cardiopulmonary exercise test using a cyclo-ergometer. This test is a diagnostic procedure designed to measure exercise capacity and cardiovascular response in this specific population. During the study, researchers will assess VO2 max, heart rate, and blood pressure within a week after the exercise test. These measurements will help evaluate how the participants cardiovascular systems respond to exercise. The total participation involves completing the exercise test and follow-up assessments to gather these important health indicators.
