Creatine supplementation and health variables: a retrospective study

Article Abstract:

This article investigates the relationship between adverse health effects and long-term use of creatine supplements in athletes. Findings indicate that there were no differences in incidences of cramps, muscle injury, or side effects between athletes and controls and that all groups had normal levels of serum creatine and blood proteins.

Oxidative stress response in trained men following repeated squats or sprints

Article Abstract:

An investigation was conducted to measure the oxidative stress response to similarly matched work bouts of squat and sprint exercise. The results suggest that in anaerobically trained men, the oxidative stress and muscle injury response to similarly matched anaerobic exercise bouts is minimal, and not different between exercise modes.

Effects of in-season (5 weeks) creatine and pyruvate supplementation on anaerobic performance and body composition in American football players

Article Abstract:

Effects of in-season pyruvate and creatine supplementation on anaerobic performance and body composition in 42 American football players have been studied and it was found that peak rate of force development for static vertical jump (SVJ) power output significantly greater for the creatine group vs the placebo and pyruvate groups. Creatine and the combination supplement helped training adaptations associated with body mass/composition, maximum strength and SVJ, but pyruvate alone was not effective.
