    At present, creatine monohydrate is the most extensively studied and clinically effective form of creatine for use in nutritional supplements in terms of muscle uptake and ability to increase high-intensity exercise capacity. 6. The addition of carbohydrate or carbohydrate and protein to a creatine supplement appears to increase muscular retention of creatine, although the effect on performance measures may not be greater than using creatine monohydrate alone. 7. The quickest method of increasing muscle creatine stores appears to be to consume ~0.3 grams/kg/day of creatine monohydrate for at least 3 days followed by 3–5 g/d thereafter to maintain elevated stores.…

    As far as an athletes perspective on supplementation it seems like a fast and efficient way to get bigger, stronger, and faster effectively. These supplements vary from simple over the counter products such as protein, amino acids, creatine, and even advanced supplements such as anabolic steroids. Some of these are incredible safe and effective while others may do more harm than good. I will be exploring the positive and negative benefits of creatine when taken as a supplement for an athlete (a baseball pitcher) whose desire is to become bigger and stronger at the collegiate level. Creatine was first introduced by a company to the U.S. in 1993 by a supplement company called “experimental and Applied Sciences”.…

    They followed a similar creatine supplementation routine of 20g per day for 1 week. As this dosage is similar to previous studies, it neglects the argument that a low dosage may be responsible for negligible improvements seen in the strength performance in the participants. However, this does lead to the question of responders and non responders. Demant & Rhodes (9) reported that 5 out of the 8 participants showed a significant increase in Cr concentrations (19 to 35 mmol/kg dry muscle (dm)), while the other 3 showed minimal increase (8 to 9 mmol/kg dm). Upon further investigation, they found that those who showed significant increase (responders) had an initial Cr concentration of less than 120 mmol/kg dm, and those who did not, had a Cr concentration of greater than 130 mmol/kg dm (9).…

Matthew 7:13,14 Every day God's salvation draws nearer, which means we must be more diligent and persevering in our walk with the Him. We do not have the "luxury of time" to be consumed, preoccupied, or even fatigued in our day-to-day responsibilities that we become distracted to what God wants to accomplish in each of our lives and in His church! We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

    What if all the exercise training in the gym brought little results due to one fixable problem with a simple solution? Muscle building is a substantial biological stressor that requires appropriate rest and proper nutrition. After a training session, nutrients are depleted from the body and needs to be restored for muscles to have the fuel to begin repairing and rebuilding.

The window of opportunity for refueling is within a thirty-minute time frame post-training (Placeholder1).…

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…
