NEW blog: Creatine supplementation and healthy ageing. In this blog, Darren Candow, PhD, CSEP-CEP, FISSN outlines the potential role of creatine for combating age-related changes in skeletal muscle and bone health, as well as cognitive function and memory. Read here: bit.ly/3zLupNq

What drives better improvements in mitochondrial content, capillarization, and VO2max - exercise intensity or volume? The answer is nuanced, but our latest study in Sports Medicine breaks it down! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Creatine for endurance? 🧐 Creatine is primarily known for its ability to enhance strength and power performance But it may also have significant benefits for endurance athletes 🚴‍♂️ Here’s how: 👉 Elevated muscle creatine buffers hydrogen ion accumulation (delays fatigue) 👉

This one found a 90-min low-intensity exercise session to induce decreases in the first lactate threshold speed, and that DFA-a1, a nonlinear index of Heart Rate Variability (HRV), is associated with this impairment.

Nice thread on a new review that is only possible because sport scientists trust each other and share their raw data from published intervention studies. Not "Big Data" yet, but bigger for sure. Well done!

When you look at LT1 as a percentage of VO2max, there's a really cool dynamic where very unfit people have a "high" LT1 because their ceiling (absolute VO2max) is very low, while very fit people have a high LT1 because their training has expanded their range of "easy" paces
