What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of a structured physical activity program on patients diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). A total of 200 participants will be randomized into two groups, with each group undergoing a 16-week training program designed to improve their symptoms. The program includes supervised exercise sessions tailored to the severity of each patient's condition. Participants will also complete various questionnaires and undergo orthostatic tests to assess their health status before and after the intervention.
