This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The timing of nutrient ingestion continues to be advocated by athletes, nutritionists, and coaches to augment potential exercise training adaptations. While creatine supplementation is well-established for its ergogenic potential, limited research is available on the potential impact of creatine monohydrate administration before or after workouts among athletes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pre- versus post-exercise creatine monohydrate supplementation on resistance training adaptations, body composition, and work capacity following 8-weeks of supplementation and resistance training. Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design, 34 health resistance-trained male and female athletes were randomly assigned and matched according to fat free mass to consume a placebo, or 5-g dose of creatine monohydrate within 1 hour before training, or within 1 hour after training for 8 weeks while completing a weekly resistance training program. At each time point all participants co-ingested a 25-gram dose whey isolate and a 25-gram dose of carbohydrate powder along with their assigned supplement. A 4-week non-supplementation period of resistance training occurred before the supplementation period to account for any early neuromuscular adaptations associated with starting a new program. Body composition using a 3-compartment field model, muscular strength and muscular endurance using bench press and back squat exercises along with isometric mid-thigh pull were assessed before and after the 8-week supplementation period. A 3 x 2 mixed factorial ANOVA with repeated measures on time were used to determine any statistically significant differences for time and group main effects and group x time interaction effects. Results: Over the training and supplementation period, all groups experienced a significant increase in fat free mass, upper and lower body strength, work capacity, and a decrease in body mass, fat mass, and percent body fat, with no differences observed between groups. Conclusions: Daily supplementation with carbohydrate plus protein with or without creatine monohydrate leads to significant increases in fat-free mass, performance indicators, and work capacity while the ingestion of, or timing creatine monohydrate did not seem to exert any additional influence over the measured outcomes.

This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two crucial components of a healthy life are nutrition and exercise. The importance of appropriate diet, food and nutrition are extremely important to be successful in sports, and, especially, in extreme sports. Extreme sport is an activity where a participant must demonstrate both mental and physical skills. This type of activity provides an adrenaline rush to individuals who are part of the "community of extreme sportsmen." Extreme sports provide opportunity for individuals to be active and fit with added enjoyment of partaking in a fun activity. Extreme sports in conjunction with proper nutrition helps to boost immunity and resistance against common infections. Studies have also exhibited that sports and exercise activities help in managing effective work-life balance as well. Extreme and Rare Sports: Performance Demands, Drivers, Functional Foods, and Nutrition provides a comprehensive treatise on extreme sports emphasizing the importance of nutrition and research-driven nutraceutical supplements in injury prevention and treatment.

Download or read book The Effects of Creatine Ethyl Ester Supplementation Combined with Resistance Training on Body Composition Muscle Mass and Performance and Intramuscular Creatine Uptake in Males written by Mike Spillane and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creatine monohydrate has become one of the most popular ingested nutritional supplements due to its potential enhancement of athletic performance. Creatine absorption from the serum into skeletal muscle occurs through the utilization of a membrane-spanning protein, CreaT1. Numerous creatine formulations have been developed primarily to maximize creatine absorption. Creatine ethyl ester (CEE) has been chemically modified by adding an ester group and is thought to increase creatine bio-availability by by-passing the CreaT1. This study examined how a seven week supplementation regimen with CEE affected body composition, muscle mass and performance, whole body creatine retention, as well physiological and molecular adaptations, associated with creatine uptake in nonresistance-trained males following a resistance-training program. Results demonstrated that CEE did not show any additional benefit to increases in muscle strength/performance or a significant increase in total muscle creatine when compared to creatine monohydrate or placebo. CEE supplementation did show a large increase in creatinine levels throughout the study.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine the separate and combined effects of creatine and caffeine supplementation during resistance training on body composition, muscle thickness and muscle performance (strength, endurance) in trained young adults. Twenty-eight participants were randomized to supplement with Creatine and Caffeine (CR-CAF; n = 9; 22 ± 4 yrs; 0.1 g·kg-1·d-1 of creatine monohydrate powder + 3 mg·kg-1·d-1 of caffeine anhydrous micronized powder); Creatine (CR; n = 7; 22 ± 4 yrs, 0.1 g·kg-1·d-1 of creatine + 3 mg·kg-1·d-1 of caffeine placebo [micronized cellulose powder]), Caffeine (CAF; n = 6; 19 ± 1 yrs, 3 mg·kg-1·d-1 of caffeine + 0.1 g·kg-1·d-1 of creatine monohydrate placebo [maltodextrin]) or placebo (PLA; n = 6; 23 ± 7 yrs, 0.1 g·kg-1·d-1 of creatine monohydrate placebo + 3 mg·kg-1·d-1 of caffeine placebo) one hour before performing resistance training for 6 weeks. Prior to and following training and supplementation, measurements were made for body composition (fat-free and fat mass by air-displacement plethysmography), muscle thickness (elbow and knee flexors and extensors by ultrasound), muscle strength (leg press and chest press by 1-repetition maximum [1-RM]) and muscle endurance (1 set of repetitions to volitional fatigue using 50% baseline 1-RM for leg press and chest press). There was a group x time interaction (p = 0.049) for knee extensor muscle thickness with the CR group experiencing an increase over time with no changes for the other groups. There were no other between group differences for any variable. In conclusion, 6 weeks of creatine and caffeine supplementation during resistance training has no effect in trained young adults.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aging is associated with gradual loss of muscle mass, termed sarcopenia, which often leads to progressive disability and loss of independence. Though resistance exercise has shown to be an effective method at reducing the rate of age-related muscle loss and decline in force output; when combined with well known muscle building agents [such as creatine monohydrate (CrM)], these training-induced improvements are enhanced. To explore this idea further, a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on 20 males aged between 55-75 yrs at Baylor University, Waco TX. Participants were randomly assigned to consume either CrM [20g/d CrM + 5g Carbohydrate (CHO) x 7 days, then 5g/d CrM +5g CHO x 77 days] or carbohydrate placebo (20g/d CHO x 7 days, then 5g/d CHO x 77 days) while participating in a high intensity resistance training program (3 sets x 10 repetitions at 75% of 1RM), 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Testing sessions were complete prior to, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks post resistance training and supplementation. Each testing session included body composition measurement as determined by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), muscle strength measurement as determined by 1 repetition maximum (RM) on leg press and bench press, blood collection and vastus lateralis muscle biopsy. The blood serum was analyzed for insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), free testosterone and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and the muscle tissue for phophorylated mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met), myogenic regulatory factors (MyoD, myogenin, Myf-5, MRF-4), and total myofibrillar protein. A significant time effect was observed for 1RM bench press (p=0.016), leg press (p
