The Claim
Six weeks of creatine monohydrate supplementation at 10 g/day combined with strength training significantly increased muscular power by 12.2% as measured by the Sargent jump test in junior female wrestlers, whereas strength training alone did not produce significant gains.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Junior female wrestlers who took 10 grams of creatine monohydrate daily for six weeks while doing strength training showed a 12.2% improvement in muscular power on the Sargent jump test, compared to those who only did strength training.

Six weeks of creatine monohydrate supplementation (10 g/day) combined with strength training in junior female wrestlers significantly increased muscular power by 12.2% as measured by the Sargent jump test, while training alone did not produce significant gains.
Creatine in the muscles quickly replenishes the energy used during explosive movements, allowing the muscles to work harder and longer during training. This increased effort causes the muscle fibers to grow larger, which makes them stronger and able to produce more power in jumps and bursts of movement.
What the research says
1 studyWrestlers who took creatine pills every day while training got stronger and jumped higher than those who only trained. Creatine helped them gain more power.
