Effects of Resistance-band Training and Creatine and Whey Protein

Effects of Resistance-band Training and Nutritional Supplementation in Healthy Older Adults


Sponsor

University of Regina

Enrollment

36 participants

Start Date

Aug 18, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The primary purpose of this research is to compare the effects of creatine monohydrate and/or whey protein supplementation during the first 10 weeks of a 20-week resistance-band training program on measures of body composition (whole-body lean tissue mass, total body water), arm and leg muscle thickness, upper- and lower-body muscle performance (i.e., strength, endurance) and functional ability (walking speed, balance). A secondary purpose of this research is to examine the effects of supplementation cessation (i.e., no creatine and/or whey protein supplementation) during the final 10 weeks of the 20-week resistance-band training program on these measures.
