About 15% of male athletes (15-30 yo ) seen at a sports medicine clinic had symptoms related to Low Energy Availability (LEA). This inadequate fuelling was linked to injuries, low testosterone, and reduced performance. #OpenAccess @DrKateAckerman

🧵 (1/3) Excited to finally share our creatine pilot trial in AD results! We found that 20 g/day creatine monohydrate for 8 weeks was safe and feasible in people with AD. Compliance was excellent, and serum creatine significantly increased.

[Andrew Jagim, PhD @AJagim]

Pretty exciting findings!

[Max Lugavere @maxlugavere]

The first trial of creatine in Alzheimer’s disease was just published and the results are big.

Patients took 20 grams of creatine monohydrate daily for 8 weeks.

Brain creatine levels rose 11%, and cognition significantly improved across multiple domains, including memory, reading, and attention.

Nearly every participant stuck with the protocol. No drug, no major side effects.

Caveat: it was a small, single-arm pilot study with no placebo group, so results must be interpreted cautiously.

Still, encouraging signs from a humble supplement.

Our study on collegiate female soccer players! ⚽ Starters rack up more distance, sprints & high-speed runs than substitutes over a season. Coaches, keep an eye on workload differences to optimize performance! 📊 #SoccerScience #SportsResearch https://t.co/NZZpBL2xlH

@NutriDetect Any published scientific evidence of the kidney destroying effects or just this screen shot of a quote?

🚨 New study on cupping therapy for runners! 🏃‍♂️ RCT shows no significant benefits in muscle pain, fatigue, perceived recovery, or jump height vs. sham treatment. 🤔 Time to rethink cupping for post-run recovery? #Running #Recovery #CuppingTherapy

Omega-3 and exercise meta-analysis:

Ex + omega-3 (vs Ex only) = ⬆️lower-body strength, ⬇️fat mass

No effect on muscle mass or upper-body strength (including HGS).

Meta-analysis: To avoid reductions in total sleep time 😴:
☑️coffee (107 mg per 250 mL) should be consumed at t 8.8 h prior to bedtime
☑️ pre-workout supplement (217.5 mg) should be consumed at least 13.2 h prior to bedtime
