1 CEC

By Renee J. Rogers, Ph.D., FACSM 

As the use of (and media attention on) anti-obesity medications (AOMs) increases, fitness professionals need to stay on top of current AOM research, learn about the effectiveness of approved AOMs, and keep an eye on those still in development.  This includes understanding indications for the use of AOMs and how they can contribute to holistic client care. These highly effective agents are considered “life-changers” for patients with chronic obesity, and exercise professionals have an opportunity to reframe programming with such medications in mind.
