Book excerpt: The purpose was to investigate the effects of high-velocity resistance training (HVRT) and creatine supplementation on muscle thickness and muscle performance in untrained healthy aging males. Participants were randomized to one of two groups: creatine (CR: n = 12, 59.0 ± 7.0 yrs, 94.8 ± 14.3 kg, 176.4 ± 8.6 cm; 0.1 g/kg/day of creatine) or placebo (PLA: n = 12, 58.1 ± 5.8 yrs, 92.0 ± 23.3 kg, 176.4 ± 8.6 cm; 0.1 g/kg/day of maltodextrin) during 8-weeks of HVRT. Prior to and following training and supplementation, assessments were made for muscle thickness (elbow and knee flexors and extensors), strength (1-repetition maximum for leg-press and chest-press), peak torque (knee flexion and extension), and tasks of functionality (balance and walking speed). There was a significant increase over time for all measures of muscle thickness (p

Book excerpt: Effect of creatine supplementation dosing strategies on aging muscle performanceJ Chami, Author1, University of Regina, Regina, SK,D Candow, Author2, University of Regina, Regina SKIntroduction:Creatine supplementation has shown promise for increasing muscle strength, endurance and tasks of functionality during aging. Previousstudies indicatelow-dosage supplementation (0.1g/kg) for >6 weeks and high-dosage (0.3g/kg) for 5-7 days can increase intramuscular creatine which may subsequently benefit aging muscle performance. Proteins involved in sensing changes in osmolarity and signal transduction have been upregulated, along with proteins involved in satellite cell proliferation and differentiation in response to 10 days of creatine supplementation, independent of exercise.Objective:Comparedifferent creatine dosages independent of exercise on aging muscle performance and functionality.Methods: Using a double-blind, repeated measures design, participants were randomized to: Creatine-High (n = 11; 0.3 g/kg/day of creatine + 0.1 g/kg/day of maltodextrin), Creatine-Low (n = 9; 0.1 g/kg/day of creatine + 0.3 g/kg/day of maltodextrin) or Placebo (n = 11; 0.4 g/kg/day of maltodextrin) for 10 days. The DependentVariablesmeasured at baseline and after supplementation were muscle strength (1-RM leg, chest press, and hand grip), muscle endurance (leg, chest press; maximum repetitions at 80% and 70% baseline 1- RM), and tasks of functionality (walking speed, balance).Results: There was a significant increase over time for leg press strength (p = 0.000), chest press strength (p = 0.001), leg press endurance (p = 0.001) and chest press endurance (p = 0.001), with no differences between groups. There were no changes over time between groups for right-hand grip strength (p = 0.571), left-hand grip strength (p = 0.386), walking speed (p = 0.226) or falls (p = 0.414).Conclusion:short-term creatine supplementation, independent of dosage, has no effect on aging muscle performance.Significance to the field of Dietetics:Provide important information for the development of dietary and nutritionalsupplementation protocols for aging muscle health toprevent a lossof functional capacity and improve overall quality of life.

Download or read book The Importance of Integrating High Velocity Resistance Training Into an Exercise Program for Untrained Older Adults written by Irvin Alfredo Jimenez and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skeletal muscle power has been shown to be a stronger predictor of functional performance in older adults compared to skeletal muscle strength. Skeletal muscle power output also decreases at a faster rate than skeletal muscle strength. Although traditional resistance training improves strength, high-velocity resistance training is the most optimal way to improve power. Additionally, high-velocity resistance training has been shown to be feasible and well-tolerated by healthy older adults. In turn, the focus of this project is to emphasize the importance of combining high-velocity resistance training with traditional resistance training in order to best help older adults prolong their quality of life by further allowing the capabilities to perform activities of daily living. Age-related physiological changes are inevitable; however, this novel unconventional resistance training program which combines high-velocity resistance training with traditional resistance training will allow older adults to optimally reverse, if not at the very least, preserve skeletal muscle mass, strength, and power output that will lead to better overall physical functional capacity. The two novel programs specific to either a gym or home along with a novel programming guideline for adults over 65 is based on the recommendations from the ACSM, NSCA, and other scientific studies. This project serves as a foundation for adapting to an exercise regimen with the goal of leading untrained older adults to exercise adherence.

Download or read book Osteosarcopenia Bone Muscle and Fat Interactions written by Gustavo Duque and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited work presents the most current evidence on osteosarcopenia from bench to bedside, which is expected to facilitate the understanding of this syndrome and to develop preventive and therapeutic strategies. With our aging population, chronic diseases such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia are becoming highly prevalent. Fortunately, our understanding of the bone and muscle interactions has increased in recent years. This has allowed to the coining of the term osteosarcopenia to describe a syndrome in which these two diseases overlap. This overlap between osteoporosis and sarcopenia has major negative effects not only on our older adults but also on health systems worldwide. Readers will find a highly translational approach that starts with a summary of recent discoveries on stem cells biology, muscle and bone interactions – including the role of local bone and muscle fat – followed by comprehensive reviews on myokines (i.e. myostatin), osteokines (i.e. osteocalcin) and adipokines (i.e. interleukins) as major players and determinants of bone and muscle loss with aging. In addition, the role of sex steroids (i.e. estrogens, androgens), and calciotropic hormones (i.e. parathyroid hormone, vitamin D) in the pathogenesis of this syndrome is also reviewed. Moreover, using practical diagnostic and therapeutic tips, this book summarizes the clinical characteristics of osteosarcopenic patients thus facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome in clinical practice. Finally, the book presents the case for the Falls and Fractures Clinic as the optimal model of care for this syndrome, aimed to avoid fragmentation and optimize osteosarcopenia care, and simultaneously prevent falls and fractures in older persons. This book offers relevant information on the mechanisms of osteosarcopenia, and a practical guide on how to identify and treat this geriatric syndrome and its adverse outcomes, which are dramatically affecting our aging population. The work is written by leaders in the field and is especially suited not only to any researcher in the musculoskeletal arena but also to medical specialists and allied health professionals involved in the care of older persons.

Download or read book Effects of Creatine Monohydrate Tiing on Resistance Training Adaptations in Male and Female Collegiate Athletes written by Nicholas Dinan and published by . 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.

Book excerpt: The purpose was to examine the effects of intra-workout creatine supplementation during resistance training sessions on muscle mass and exercise performance in physically active young adults. Twenty-two participants were randomized to supplement with creatine (CR: n = 13, 26.15 ± 4.66 yrs, 80.5 ± 18.07 kg, 174.50 ± 10.53 cm; 0.0055 g/kg post training set) or placebo (PLA: n = 9, 26.44 ± 5.10 yrs, 79.88 ± 19.97 kg, 175.05 ± 12.09 cm; 0.0055 g/kg post training set) during 6 weeks of resistance training (18 sets per training session). Prior to and following training and supplementation, measurements were made for muscle thickness (elbow and knee flexors and extensors, ankle plantarflexors; ultrasound), muscular power (vertical jump, medicine ball throw), muscular strength (leg press and chest press 1-repetition maximum [1-RM]) and muscular endurance (1 sets of repetitions to volitional fatigue using 50% baseline 1-RM for leg press and chest press). There were group x time interactions for leg press and chest press strength and leg press and total body endurance. The creatine group experienced a significant increase in leg press (pre 188.06 ± 88.68 kg, post 231.68 ± 89.39 kg; p

Download or read book Effects of Creatine Supplementation and Resistance Training on Bone Turnover Markers in Older Men written by Jason M. Ramos and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effect of creatine supplementation, both with and without resistance training, on human bone. Serum bone turnover markers (BTMs) for bone formation and resorption were used as outcome measures. A secondary purpose was to investigate changes in body composition and strength resulting from the supplement and resistance training regimens. METHODS: Eight healthy older men aged 66-79 years old (71.8 ± 4.1 yr; 91.4 ± 19.3 kg; 177.9 ± 6.3 cm) were randomized into three groups: creatine only (Cr, n = 3), creatine and resistance training (Cr+RT, n = 3) and placebo (PLA, n = 2). The men underwent 12 weeks of treatment which included supplementation with creatine (0.3 g/kg for 5 days and 0.07 g/kg thereafter) or placebo. Subjects were measured pre and posttest using four serum BTMs: osteocalcin (OC), procollagen I intact n-terminal propeptide (PINP), and N and C-Telopeptide (NTx, CTx). Those in the Cr+RT group performed 12 exercises, 10 repetitions, and 3 sets session-1 for 12 weeks. All subjects underwent dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and one-repetition maximum strength testing. RESULTS: Study participants in the Cr and Cr+RT groups experienced increases in osteocalcin (Cr 2.8%, Cr+RT 13.1%) as did those in PLA group (12.0%). PINP also increased in those groups receiving creatine (Cr 2.2%, Cr+RT 3.6%), yet it decreased in the PLA group (-15.6%). Bone resorption markers (NTx and CTx) decreased in the Cr-alone group (-11.9% and -23.1%, respectively), increased somewhat in the Cr+RT group (0.8% and 10.4%, respectively), and increased by a greater amount for those in the PLA group (22.5% and 38.9%, respectively). Small changes in lean mass (Cr 1.8%, Cr+RT 3.7%, PLA -2.9%) and fat % (Cr 0.3%, Cr+RT -0.2%, PLA 2.5%) were observed. Changes in strength were greatest in the Cr+RT group, but notable increases were also seen in the Cr-alone group (leg press: Cr 20%, Cr+RT 55%, PLA 5%; knee extension: Cr 10%, Cr+RT 43%, PLA 6%; and bench press: Cr 9%, Cr+RT 27%, PLA 0%). CONCLUSION: Observable patterns in change in serum BTMs indicate that creatine alone, and with resistance training, may have a positive effect on bone metabolism. Body composition and strength changes in creatine-supplemented groups were consistent with prior studies using a similar cohort and methodology.

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

Download or read book Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy written by Brad J. Schoenfeld and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muscle hypertrophy—defined as an increase in muscular size—is one of the primary outcomes of resistance training. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is a comprehensive compilation of science-based principles to help professionals develop muscle hypertrophy in athletes and clients. With more than 825 references and applied guidelines throughout, no other resource offers a comparable quantity of content solely focused on muscle hypertrophy. Readers will find up-to-date content so they fully understand the science of muscle hypertrophy and its application to designing training programs. Written by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, a leading authority on muscle hypertrophy, this text provides strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, sport scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors with a definitive resource for information regarding muscle hypertrophy—the mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most effectively design training programs, and current nutrition guidelines for eliciting hypertrophic changes. The full-color book offers several features to make the content accessible to readers: • Research Findings sidebars highlight the aspects of muscle hypertrophy currently being examined to encourage readers to re-evaluate their knowledge and ensure their training practices are up to date. • Practical Applications sidebars outline how to apply the research conclusions for maximal hypertrophic development. • Comprehensive subject and author indexes optimize the book’s utility as a reference tool. • An image bank containing most of the art, photos, and tables from the text allows instructors and presenters to easily teach the material outlined in the book. Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a range of training programs, this text allows readers to understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that promote optimal muscle hypertrophy in their athletes and clients. It explores how genetic background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and the total gain in lean muscle mass. Sample programs in the text show how to design a three- or four-day-per-week undulating periodized program and a modified linear periodized program for maximizing muscular development. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an invaluable resource for strength and conditioning professionals seeking to maximize hypertrophic gains and those searching for the most comprehensive, authoritative, and current research in the field.
