Short-Term Creatine Supplementation and Repeated Sprint Ability - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Unknown authors
Published in International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism
Key Findings
Short-term creatine loading increased mean power output during repeated sprint tests, with no significant effect on peak power or fatigue index.
Conclusions
Creatine loading modestly improves repeated-sprint mean power; intramuscular creatine measurements are needed to confirm the phosphocreatine mechanism.
Supplements Studied
Short-term creatine supplementation may increase mean power output during repeated sprint tests.
Outcomes Measured
Short-term creatine supplementation may increase mean power output during repeated sprint tests, although the absence of corresponding effects on peak power and fatigue means that more research, with measurements of intramuscular creatine content, is necessary.
