“Quad strength is one of the strongest predictors of mobility and independence as we age.”

It sounds like a simple question — but tends to be misunderstood by many older adults that perform strength training.

“Creatine reliably improves strength and muscle mass in older adults.”

We’ve all heard it. We’ve all seen the media reports, the social media posts, the influencers — even researchers — telling us this is the way.

But is it really?

When you look beyond muscle size and examine whether older adults actually move better in the real world, the picture becomes far more nuanced.

I took a deep dive into the research on multi-joint lower-limb strength and physical function — tests that assess how older adults function in day-to-day life, such as walking speed, stair climbing, and timed mobility tasks.
