Muscle Physiology Research Paper Creatine Supplementation, in Combination with Resistance Training, on the Promotion of Muscle Mass and Strength. Creatine supplementation, in combination with Resistance training, on the promotion of muscle mass and strength. Introduction: In recent times Dietary supplements have exhibited a great deal of interest, namely the potential of the dietary supplement creatine monohydrate, to increase the muscles concentration of phosphocreatine (PC) and hopefully, performance. Mainly popular with athletes and trainers hoping to promote greater increases in muscle mass and strength in resistance training programs, but recently it has been realized that even non athletes and even…show more content…
So the question in does creating loading increase muscle mass as well? These findings would suggest so, but the fact of the matter is conclusive findings with in current literature are yet to be proven, as many finding contradict one another. Increasing muscle mass: Increasing muscle mass is an extremely complicated process called protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is also known as the process whereby DNA encodes for the production of amino acids and proteins.This process can be divided into two parts: 1. Transcription Before the synthesis of a protein begins, the corresponding RNA molecule is produced by RNA transcription. One strand of the DNA double helix is used as a template by the RNA polymerase to synthesize a messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. During this step, mRNA goes through different types of maturation including one called splicing when the non-coding sequences are eliminated. The coding mRNA sequence can be described as a unit of three nucleotides called a codon. (Figure
