Sarcopenia is an age-related musculoskeletal condition characterized by reduced functional ability, muscle strength, and lean mass. It can lead to adverse outcomes, such as a lower quality of life and impaired physical function, and is also associated with cognitive decline in older individuals. Sarcopenia is a reversible condition, and its prevalence increases with age. Various non-pharmacological interventions are available to counteract sarcopenia progression in older adults.
Creatine monohydrate gained widespread popularity as a dietary supplement in Europe and the United States following a landmark study in 1992. It has been approved for inclusion in nutritional supplements in several countries, including Brazil, Australia, Canada, Japan, the European Union, and South Korea. Research has demonstrated that creatine monohydrate is effective and safe for humans and older adults.
Resistance Training Resistance training is a form of strength training that involves applying various external forces to augment physical capabilities. It has several physical benefits, such as enhanced endurance, power, muscle strength, and bone mineral density. From a clinical perspective, resistance training improves functionality, contributes to cardiometabolic health, and helps prevent mental health issues and neurodegenerative disorders.
