In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to investigate the effect that a structured, progressive resistance exercise program may have on maintaining the muscle mass and physical function of overweight/ obese females whilst they experience a tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist) induced weight loss. Overweight and obese females aged 25-50 will be recruited for the study, they will require a BMI of \>30 or \>27 with one obesity related comorbidity (excluding diabetes). They will be screened, prescribed tirzepatide and then randomly assigned to either the intervention (GLP-1/GIP + Exercise) or the control group (GLP-1/GIP). Groups will then be split into pre and peri menopausal groups to provide a further exploratory pathway looking analysing if the menopause transition may have any effect on our outcome variables. This was proposed as in the UK females are more likely to begin GLP-1RA treatment. Both groups
