the aim of this study was to determine the effect of creatine supplementation on sprint and skill performance in young soccer players. seventeen young soccer players (mean age: 17.18 ± 1.37 y, mean high: 169.6 ± 6.17 cm and mean weight: 61.67 ± 1.37 kg) participated in this study. subjects were assigned to either a creatine (5 g of cr, 4 times per day for 7 days) or a placebo group (same dosage...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short-term creatine monohydrate (cr) and folic acid (fa) supplementation on homocysteine (hcy) levels in young active males. eighteen young male soccer players (21.11±2.02 years, vo2max 56.51±2.31, hcy 13.45±0.59) volunteered to participate in this study. they were randomly divided into creatine monohydrate (n=6), folic acid (n=6) and ...

objective(s): neuroprotective effect of creatine (cr) against β-amyloid (aβ) is reported in an in vitro study. this study investigated the effect of cr supplementation on β-amyloid toxicity in vivo. materials and methods: thirty two, male wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. during ten weeks of study, control group went through no surgical or dietary intervention. at the 4th week of study sh...

Creatine, a natural nutrient found in animal foods, is alleged to be an effective nutritional ergogenic aid to enhance sport or exercise performance. Research suggests that oral creatine monohydrate supplementation may increase total muscle creatine [TCr], including both free creatine [FCr] and phosphocreatine [PCr]. Some, but not all, studies suggest that creatine supplementation may enhance p...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of short term creatine monohydrate supplementation on baseline homocysteine concentrations and following an exhaustive exercise in active men. twelve male students who were members of soccer team of mazandaran university (age: 21.83±2.20 years, bmi: 13.53±58 kg/m2, homocysteine: 13.53±58 ?mol/lit) volunteered to participate in this study. ...

introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of short-term creatine supplementation on oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes after six bouts of 50-meter sprint swimming. methods: this quasi-experimental study recruited eight trained female swimmers with the mean age of 25±4.4 years and body mass index (bmi) of 21.8±4.2 kg/m2 to perform six bouts of 50-meter sprint swimming with a 12...

Background: Alzheimer disease is the main cause of dementia in middle-aged and elderly people. Considering the improving effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive performance, this study aimed to determine the effects of creatine supplementation on learning, memory, and apoptosis in an experimental model of Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats each weighing 250±50...
