Body Composition and Exercise with GLP1 Agonist Treatment
This study is looking at whether using a smartwatch to track activity and body composition, along with exercise guidance, can help people maintain or build muscle while taking incretin therapy (like liraglutide, semaglutide, tirzepatide, or retatrutide). These medications are often used for obesity. We want to see if this approach can safely improve strength and muscle mass. You could join if you are 18 to 99 years old and have recently started, or are planning to start, one of these incretin therapies within the last two months. The main goal is to measure changes in lean muscle mass after 6 months.
- Study design
