How to read these marks →“Compared with resistance training alone (RT), resistance training plus creatine (RT + CR) produced significant increases in upper-body strength (g = 0.54, p < 0.001), lower-body strength (g = 0.55, p < 0.001), lean mass (g = 0.30, p < 0.001), and body mass (g = 0.12, p = 0.04), and a significant reduction in body-fat percentage (g = -0.14, p = 0.02).”
