Exercise, hormones, and metabolism in youth with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
Researchers in the Kinesiology Department at California State University
Fullerton (CSUF), in collaboration with the Division of Endocrinology at the
Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) located in the city of Orange in CA,
are investigating the hormonal and metabolic responses during exercise in
children with PWS and without PWS. The purpose of this study is to better
understand alterations in the endocrinology and metabolism of PWS based on the
genetics and body composition particular to PWS.
We are recruiting youth with PWS between the ages 8-18 years old for a
three-visit study (1.5 hours for the 1st visit to CHOC, 1 hour for a visit to
CSUF, and 3 hours for a 2nd visit to CHOC). During both visits to CHOC the
children will ride a stationary bike, in the 1st visit they will complete a
health screening, and in the 2nd visit they will have their blood drawn. The
visit to CSUF is for a body composition x-ray scan (DXA). Participating youth
will be compensated for their time with gift certificates, and
parents/caregivers for mileage and parking.
