Why exercise is essential for restoring fitness after GLP-1-based weight loss

Taking Ozempic Won't Help Weight Loss, Daily Exercise Matters: New Study

A new randomized trial shows that GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like liraglutide help reduce weight but don't improve physical fitness on their own. Structured exercise is essential for meaningful...

Why exercise is essential for restoring fitness after GLP-1-based weight loss

This randomized controlled trial shows that structured moderate-to-vigorous exercise, alone or combined with liraglutide, improves physical function and cardiorespiratory fitness after diet-induced weight loss in adults with obesity. In contrast, liraglutide alone sustains weight loss but does not significantly improve measured physical fitness outcomes.
