The clinical and anthropometric characteristics of the study subjects (n = 40) before and after one week of oral creatine supplementation
| Characteristics | Before creatine | After creatine | pvalue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body mass (kg) | 74.9 ± 1.8 | 75.4 ± 1.8 | 0.0020 |
| Body mass index (kg/m2) | 25.2 ± 0.4 | 25.4 ± 0.5 | 0.0045 |
| Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 124.7 ± 1.5 | 122.9 ± 1.5 | 0.1829 |
| Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) | 75.6 ± 1.2 | 74.1 ± 1.4 | 0.3085 |
| Mean blood pressure (mmHg) | 92.1 ± 1.1 | 89.8 ± 1.1 | 0.0255 |
| Heart rate (beats/min) | 56.7 ± 1.5 | 57.5 ± 1.4 | 0.4904 |
The results were presented as the mean ± SEM.
p values were estimated using two-tailed paired Student’s t tests.
Bold values denote significant differences.
