High Intensity Resistance Training + Creatine in Perimenopause
High Intensity Resistance Training + Creatine in Perimenopause
NCT ID: NCT07027800 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 55 Completion: 2025-12-15
Conditions
Perimenopause
Interventions
Creatine Monohydrate, Placebo
Summary
Purpose: The aims of the study are to investigate the effects of high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) with or without creatine monohydrate (CM) supplementation on three key areas: muscle characteristics, brain health, and metabolism/protein dynamics.
Participants: 51 healthy, perimenopausal women between 38-60 years old. Procedures: In a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled design, participants will either consume creatine (CM), a placebo (PL), or no supplement (CON). CM and PL groups will be assigned a HIRT protocol, and the CON will do no training.
Primary Outcome
Muscle quality
