The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 16 wks of resistance training and creatine supplementation on strength and cognition in 26 older adults (5 male and 21 female) who were randomly assigned to the Control Group (CG, n=13) or the Intervention Group (IG, n=13). Weight and height were measured. The JAMAR? hand dynamometer was used for the dominant and nondominant handgrip. Cognitive performance was measured with the MoCa questionnaire. Resistance training plus 5 g·d-1 of creatine supplementation were applied as the intervention protocol for 16 consecutive wks. After the 16 wks of intervention, the IG improved in both the handgrip strength (P<0.05) and cognitive performance (P<0.05). The findings indicate that 16 wks of resistance training and creatine monohydrate supplementation improved older adults' handgrip strength and cognitive performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
