''Women in their mid-sixties get more out of strength training if they take fish-oil supplements, discovered Brazilian researchers at Parana Federal University. They did an experiment with 45 women aged 64.
Fish-oil supplements improve body composition. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish not only stimulate the burning of fatty acids,
they also enhance muscle-tissue build-up. [Am J Clin Nutr. 2007 May;85(5):1267-74.] One theory suggests that fish oil helps the repair to damaged muscle tissue done by immune cells. Another suggests that fish oil supplements boost the IGF-1 concentration. Whichever mechanism it is, experiments have shown that supplementation with fish oil, fish oil and HMB, or fish oil and leucine protects the muscle mass of cancer patients. [Clin Nutr. 2011 Dec;30(6):759-68.]
The Brazilians wanted to know whether fish oil could help healthy elderly people with their strength training. Strength training is an effective anti-aging medicine, but the older people get, the less well their bodies react to this form of exercise. That was the reason the Brazilians carried out their experiment.""
Still have to look through this some, but it looks interesting...
