A program of body building exercises, associated to supplements of créatine and acid linoléique conjugated (ALC), could contribute to protect the aged people against the obesity and the decrease of the muscular tonus.
It is the conclusion of an essai1 led in Ontario by 39 topics of more than 65 years (19 men and 20 women). According to the results, the hold of 5 g of créatine and 6 g of ACL per day, associated to two sessions of body building per week, had the effect of to increase the muscular tonus of the topics and to improve their report massages adipose maigre/tissus.
In other words, the topics were stronger and less fat, what represents a net favors at an aging person whose muscular tonus has the tendency naturally to decrease while the fat matter accumulates.
One already knew that body building contributed, at the eldests, to increase the muscular tonus while reducing the adipose cloths. The Canadian researchers wanted to know if a supplement of and ALC could increase the size of the beneficial effect of body building. All topics of the test made body building during six months, but half among them took the supplement while the other had the right to an identical placebo.
All saw their muscular tonus to improve and their adipose mass to decrease, but the effect was marked more at those that took the créatine and the ALC, return the authors of the survey. It will be necessary to lead tests of bigger span however and on longer periods in order to be able to observe the effects long-term of such a supplement.
The results of other exploratory tests indicate indeed that the ALC could contribute to an increase of the stress oxydatif and, therefore, to contribute to the inflammatory processes. Such an effect has not been observed during the present test. The researchers think that the exercises of body building could contribute to thwart this phenomenon.
