Body Composition and Exercise to Prevent Muscle Loss With GLP1 Agonist Treatment (NCT07226947)
BIA Monitoring and Exercise for the Prevention of Muscle Loss With Incretin Therapy (BICEP Study)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to learn if a smartwatch that measures activity level and body composition, combined with exercise reminders, can safely improve strength and muscle mass in people who recently started or are planning to start treatment with incretin therapy (liraglutide, semaglutide, tirzepatide or retatrutide), also known as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications.
