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.

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 tests whether a 12-week program of exercise and personalized nutrition can help adults who are obese and taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications maintain muscle and bone while losing fat. It aims to improve strength, fitness, and overall function during treatment.
This study tests a 12-week digital strength training program for women aged 40–54 who have recently started taking a GLP-1 medication for weight management. The program uses a smartphone app to guide bodyweight exercises at home, with the goal of preserving muscle while losing weight.
This study looks at whether certain dietary supplements can help preserve muscle mass while you are taking a GLP-1 medication for weight loss. You would take the supplements or a placebo for a period while continuing your GLP-1 treatment, and the researchers will measure changes in your muscle and strength.
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.
