Weight Lifting: NEW Creatine and Protein research!
A new, yet unpublished, study by the University of Saskatchewan, shows that a combination of protein and creatine BEFORE training may increase muscle mass more than other combinations. Currently most body builders usually take a creatine with sugars after training and during the morning meals on non-training days.
In this study 35 men between the ages of 59 and 77 were asked to drink a special shake before lifting weights three days a week. The groups included shakes with:
1) creatine
2) protein.
3) creatine and protein
4) only sugar as a control
Neither the researcher nor the athletes knew what additives their shakes contained.
After just 10 weeks the men drinking protein and creatine shakes increased their muscle mass by an average of 5.6 per cent. About 3.2 kilograms more muscle on each man.
Those taking creatine alone increased their muscle mass by 3.1 per cent, and the men drinking just sugar or protein saw a one per cent increase in muscle mass.
Researchers believe creatine helps accelerate the body's ability to manufacture proteins.
Researchers have found similar results before in younger persons, but more research needs to be done.
