Effect of pre-exercise and post-exercise creatine supplementation on bone mineral content and density in healthy aging adults
Creatine supplementation, immediately before and immediately following resistance
training, has been shown to increase muscle mass and strength. However, the effects of pre-
exercise and post-exercise creatine supplementation on aging bone mineral content (BMC)
and density (BMD) is unknown. Using a double-blind, repeated measures design, aging
adults were randomized to one of three groups: creatine before (CR-B: n= 15; 53�3 years,
170.1�9.9 77.1�15.6 kg; 0.1 g� kg− 1 creatine immediately before resistance training and 0.1�…
