Strength training for people starting GLP-1 weight loss meds
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how strength training affects your muscles if you're just starting a GLP-1 medicine for weight loss (like Wegovy or Zepbound). It's designed to help understand if exercise can help preserve muscle while you lose weight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You have been taking a GLP-1 medicine (like Wegovy or Zepbound) for 1 month or less.
- Your weight is under 300 pounds.
- You pass a health screening to ensure it's safe to exercise.
- You do not have osteoporosis, active cancer, heart disease, or a metabolic disease.
- You are willing and able to give your consent.

This study looks at whether doing exercise and a GLP-1 medicine (liraglutide or similar) can improve how your body uses insulin and how blood flows to your muscles. It is aimed at adults with metabolic syndrome who do not already have diabetes.
This study tests whether strength training can help adults taking new obesity medications (like Wegovy or Ozempic) maintain muscle and improve mental health. You would start the medication after your first study visit.
This study looks at whether exercise can help prevent muscle loss in people taking GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro) for weight loss. It may help you keep your muscles strong while you lose weight.
This study looks at whether a guided strength-training app can help women in their 40s and 50s who are starting a GLP-1 medication (like Ozempic or Wegovy) build muscle and stay healthy. You'd follow a home-based workout plan for 12 weeks and attend a few in-person visits.
This study tests whether a 12-week program of exercise and personalized nutrition counseling can help obese adults maintain muscle and bone while taking GLP-1 medications (drugs that help with weight loss). GLP-1 drugs can sometimes cause muscle loss, so this trial explores whether targeted exercise and nutrition can prevent that.
This trial tests whether adding creatine (a natural muscle-building supplement) helps preserve muscle and strength while taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy. These medications help with weight loss but can sometimes cause muscle loss, so researchers want to see if creatine prevents that.
