Abstract
Resulting in marked reductions in body weight and cardiovascular disease risk glucagon-like-peptide 1 receptor agonists are nowadays the leading anti-obesity agents. However, with loss of body weight comes loss of skeletal muscle mass that may compromise the beneficial metabolic effects of glucagon-like-peptide 1 receptor agonists. As muscle contraction is a potent stimulus of muscle protein synthesis, resistance exercise training may prevent or help recover glucagon-like-peptide 1 receptor agonists-mediated skeletal muscle loss.
