the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short term creatine monohydrate as an ergogenic supplement on the sprint performance and muscular strength of wrestlers. 20 wrestlers were selected randomly and divided into two groups. one group was placebo group (control) and the other group was creatine supplement group (experimental). in a double blind project, subjects' speed...

Creatine is an amino acid derivate commonly found in vertebrate muscle tissue. facilitates the recycling of adenosine triphosphate and thus contributes to energy supply muscles as well brain. used a supplement for several reasons its effects humans, particularly sports medicine, have been studied excessively. Also, creatine supplementation has functions benefits terrestrial farm animals. Up dat...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of whole body vibration training (wbvt) and creatine (cr) supplementation on lower extremity performance and balance in elderly males. methods & materials: in this semi-experimental study, twenty two eligible males from the members of an elderly daycare center with more than 60 years of age were enrolled and were divided into ...

You might say the knowledge base on the effects of creatine is a bit? slim. About half of the creatine humans need is made in the body by the liver and kidneys. Outside of the body, the other half is typically obtained from a person?s diet (from eating red meat and seafood). There are also creatine supplements in many forms, including powders, tablets, liquids, and energy bars. Though the use o...

While the role of creatine in preventing muscle (peripheral) fatigue for high performance athletes is well understood, its biochemical role in prevention of mental (central) fatigue is not. Creatine is abundant in muscles and the brain and after phosphorylation used as an energy source for adenosine triphosphate synthesis. Using double-blind placebo-controlled paradigm, we demonstrated that die...

Abstract Background & Aims: In regard to the limited studies about the effect of creatine on exercise-induced inflammatory responses, the present study was conducted to identify the effect of creatine monohydrate loading on response of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and peripheral blood leucocytes following one bout downhill running in male mountain climbers. Methods: Twen...

AIM Creatine is an endogenous molecule synthesized in the liver, kidney and pancreas from glycine and arginine and is important for mitochondrial metabolism. It is widely used as a supplement for improving muscle mass and function for many years. As it is expected to prevent apoptosis and diminish oxidative stress, it is also studied in a number of neurodegenerative diseases for its beneficial ...

the aim of this study was to examine the concurrent consumption of creatine and resistance training on flexion strength of biceps brachii in female physical education students in their last semester. for this purpose, 30 students were randomly selected and divided into three groups: the experimental group 1 (age: 19.8 ± 1.4 yr, weight: 53.9 ± 4.4 kg, height: 162 ± 4.4 cm), experimental group 2 ...

Background Athletes use ergogenic aids in an attempt to increase training-adaptations, which serves to enhance their performance during competition. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied ergogenic aids. Although many studies have reported the efficacy and effectiveness of creatine monohydrate supplement manufacturers continually introduce newer forms of creatine into the marketplace. ...
