1. Risk for decreased cardiac output related to increased afterload, vasoconstriction, myocardial ischemia, ventricular hypertrophy. Purpose: afterload is not increased, there was no vasoconstriction, and myocardial ischemia does not occur. Expected outcomes: Nursing interventions: 2.
However, the basis of âtake creatine after your workoutâ comes from a 2013 study published in the JISSN, which can be found here (open access too!). In this study recreational male bodybuilders (19 men overall) were given five grams of creatine either before or after their workouts.
Noting that the loading phase is useless after 48 hours, they think that itâs best to load creatine for two days, then switch to a maintenance dose. For those who canât tolerate a loading phase, another option is to take eight to 10 grams of creatine a day for about 10 weeks. Anything less than five grams a day, say the authors, is not effective for boosting anaerobic performance.
