Sponsor's own description
The age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass (i.e. sarcopenia)and muscle performance (i.e. strength and power), decreases functionality and the ability to perform activities of daily living. Therefore, lifestyle interventions which may improve aging muscle health are important (i.e. resistance training and creatine supplementation). High-velocity resistance training (HVRT) has been shown to increase muscle mass and muscle performance in aging adults. Creatine (CR), a compound naturally found in red meat and seafood, has also been shown to increase muscle mass and muscle performance in aging adults. No study has examined the combined effects of HVRT and CR supplementation in aging adults. This study may determine whether this lifestyle intervention is effective to combat sarcopenia.
