Transgender individuals have served openly in the U.S. Military since 2016. Official policies for transgender servicemembers continue to evolve, including approaches to physical fitness testing of transgender servicemembers. There is a paucity of scientific data regarding the effects of gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) on athletic performance for the past 24 months of treatment. Identification of expected trends in performance during and after gender transition is essential to allow for the development of appropriate military policy regarding when to assess servicemembers' fitness by standards of their affirmed gender.
