Summary

This trial aims to study how obesity medication impacts body composition and if aerobic or resistance exercise training affects these changes. It will also look at how exercise impacts other health and fitness factors. The trial will compare

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with obesity who are interested in understanding how different types of exercise and standard medical care can affect their body composition, fitness, physical activity levels, muscle strength, blood pressure, food intake, and overall quality of life over a 6-month period.

What is being tested?

The study compares the effects of no exercise/standard medical care to supervised aerobic or resistance training on various health metrics. Participants will be monitored regularly and engage in exercise sessions three times a week if assigned to an exercise group.

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly listed here, potential side effects may include typical risks associated with starting an exercise program such as muscle soreness or strain. Standard Medical Care might have side effects depending on the specific treatments involved.
