Creatine Timing and Resistance Training Adaptations.

"Participants will resistance train their left arm and left leg one day and their right arm and right leg the next day. Participants will supplement with creatine BEFORE one of the training days (randomized to either left or right side) and on the opposite training day (opposite side of the body to the previous training day) supplement with creatine AFTER training. Having the same person in both conditions will control for genetics, habitual diet, other daily activities, and so on, that may have confounded previous research. Muscle mass and strength changes will be measured in each limb prior to and following 8 weeks of training to determine whether creatine timing influenced muscle growth.~Research Question: To determine whether creatine supplementation timing (i.e., before versus after training) effects 8 weeks of resistance training adaptations (i.e., muscle growth and strength changes)."
