Study Notes
- The recommended daily protein intake for maintaining health is 0.8 grams per kg of body weight.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that 1.0-1.2 grams/kg of body weight or 1.6-2.2 grams/kg for older adults is optimal for muscle growth.
- Protein intake per meal for individuals under 40 years old is recommended to be 0.25 grams/kg, while those over 40 years old should consume 0.40 grams/kg.
- The timing of protein intake is not crucial for muscle growth and recovery; however, post-exercise consumption is ideal for refueling.
- Complete protein sources like dairy, animal, and some plant-based foods should be prioritized due to their leucine content, which is essential for muscle protein synthesis.
- Creatine is a nitrogen-containing compound found in red meat and seafood, which is stored in muscle as phosphocreatine and helps maintain ATP levels during exercise.
- Creatine supplementation increases lean tissue mass by 1.41 kg and muscle mass by 700 g when combined with resistance training.
- Creatine supplementation also increases muscle hypertrophy in older adults, especially in the lower limbs.
- Creatine supplementation enhances muscle anabolic processes and inhibits muscle catabolic processes during resistance training.
- Creatine and resistance training resulted in a significant improvement in muscle density and strength in older adults.
- Lower-body muscle groups are more negatively affected by aging than upper-body muscle groups.
- Creatine supplementation improves muscle function by increasing protein synthesis and reducing protein breakdown and inflammation.
