While incretin-based weight-loss drugs dramatically reduce body fat, rapid weight reduction often compromises lean muscle mass and physical function. Researchers confirmed that structured resistance training preserves vital muscle strength and metabolic health during treatment, offering a clear clinical blueprint for healthier aging.
