Effect of Creatine Supplementation on Aerobic Performance and Anaerobic Capacity in Elite Rowers in the Course of Endurance Training
Creatine supplements and their impact on endurance and sprint performance in top rowers during training
AI simplified
Abstract
The mean individual lactate threshold increased significantly from 314.3 W to 335.6 W after 5 days of creatine supplementation.
- Creatine supplementation may enhance endurance by raising the lactate threshold in elite male rowers.
- Increased lactate threshold indicates improved aerobic performance after creatine treatment.
- Athletes who received creatine were able to sustain anaerobic exercise for 12.1 seconds longer on average compared to the placebo group.
- No significant changes were observed in maximal power output or blood lactate levels after all-out exercise between the groups.
