Abstract :
Aging subsequently results in bone and muscle loss which has a negative effect on strength, agility,
and balance leading to increased risks of falls, injuries, and fractures. Resistance training is an effective strategy
for maintaining bone mass, possibly by increasing activity of cells involved in bone formation and reducing
activity of cells involved in bone resorption. However, bone loss is still evident in older adults who have
maintained resistance training for most of their life, suggesting that other factors such as nutrition may be
involved in the aging bone process. Emerging evidence suggests that creatine supplementation, with and without
resistance training, has the potential to influence bone biology. However, research investigating the longer-term
effects of creatine supplementation and resistance training on aging bone is limited.
