Muscle and Movement With Anti-Obesity Medications

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about changes in body composition related to obesity medication use, and whether aerobic or resistance exercise training will impact these body composition changes. It will also provide information about whether aerobic or resistance exercise training has additional benefits on other health and fitness measurements. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in the change in body composition (fat mass, lean mass, muscle mass, and bone content) between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in body weight and BMI between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in cardiorespiratory fitness between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in how much physical activity is completed between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in physical function between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in muscle strength between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in resting blood pressure between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in food intake between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in health-related quality of life between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? Participants will: * Participate in an intervention for a period of 6 months that involves being assigned to a no exercise/standard medical care condition, or a supervised exercise condition (aerobic training or resistance training). * Visit the clinical before starting the study and at 6 months to complete study measurements of their body composition and other measurements to monitor their progress. * Complete a brief monitoring session at weeks 6, 12, and 18 across the 6 months. * Complete supervised exercise sessions at the research center 3x per week for 6 months (Participants in the exercise groups only: aerobic training or resistance training).
