Strength training for muscle and mind on obesity medication
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are starting a GLP-1 medication (like Wegovy, Ozempic, Saxenda, Zepbound, or Mounjaro) and can wait to begin it until after the first study visit
- You have obesity (BMI 30–45) or a BMI of 27 or higher plus high blood pressure or sleep apnea
- You do not smoke and you are not active (less than 150 minutes of exercise per week for the last 6 months)
- You have not had weight loss surgery, an eating disorder, or used these medications in the past 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 adding protein supplements and resistance training (like lifting weights) can help adults 45+ with overweight or obesity get better results from weight-loss medications such as Wegovy or Mounjaro. It looks at changes in body composition, metabolism, and how well your body uses protein.
This trial tests whether adding resistance exercise and extra protein can help you keep your muscle while taking weight loss medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide. It is for people with a BMI of 27 or higher who are not already exercising regularly.
This trial tests whether combining a GLP-1 medication (a type of diabetes drug that also helps with weight loss) with an exercise program can improve physical function in people with obesity. If you are obese and have trouble with daily activities, this study may help you become more mobile and healthier.
This study tests whether combining a newer weight-loss medication (tirzepatide) with a structured exercise program helps improve muscle strength and function in people who are overweight or obese. Researchers will measure changes in muscle quality and physical fitness over time.
This trial tests a weight-loss medication (GLP-1 receptor agonist) combined with dietary protein to see if it helps protect muscle while losing fat. It is for adults with obesity who are not taking certain other medications or supplements.
