Creatine supplementation enhances strength and power training by boosting the phosphagen energy system. While generally safe, long-term effects require further scientific investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Nutrition
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Creatine is a widely used nutritional supplement.
  • Research is actively defining its effects on human performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the current understanding of creatine supplementation's effects.
  • To highlight its impact on strength and power training.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on creatine supplementation.
  • Analysis of acute and chronic effects on physiological performance.

Main Results:

  • Creatine supplementation boosts the phosphagen energy system.
  • Evidence suggests enhancement of strength and power training.
  • Few adverse effects documented in current literature.
