Effects of Creatine Supplementation during Resistance Training Sessions in Physically Active Young Adults

摘要: The purpose was to examine the effects of creatine supplementation during resistance training sessions on skeletal muscle mass and exercise performance in physically active young adults. Twenty-two participants were randomized supplement with (CR: n = 13, 26 ± 4 yrs; 0.0055 g·kg−1 post set) or placebo (PLA: 9, 5 six weeks (18 sets per session; five days week). Prior following supplementation, measurements made for thickness (elbow knee flexors/extensors, ankle plantarflexors), power (vertical jump medicine ball throw), strength (leg press chest one-repetition maximum (1-RM)) muscular endurance (one set repetitions volitional fatigue using 50% baseline 1-RM leg press). group experienced a significant increase (p < 0.05) press, total body no changes PLA group. Both groups improved over time 0.05), greater gains observed In conclusion, ingestion is viable strategy improving some indices
