The Claim
In active young males, creatine supplementation (20 g/day for 5 days followed by 5 g/day for 16 days) increases relative peak power during a 30-second Wingate test by approximately 15%, improves muscular strength in chest, back, and leg press exercises by 6–17%, and enhances total muscular endurance by 10–15%, indicating that creatine supports multiple aspects of anaerobic performance.
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.
Taking creatine for a few weeks can give young, active guys a boost in short bursts of power, help them lift heavier weights, and let them do more reps — basically making their muscles work better during quick, intense exercise.
See the scientific wording
In active young males, supplementing with creatine alone (20 g/day for 5 days followed by 5 g/day for 16 days) increases relative peak power during a 30-second Wingate test by approximately 15%, improves muscular strength in chest, back, and leg press exercises by 6–17%, and enhances total muscular endurance by about 10–15%, indicating that creatine supplementation supports multiple aspects of anaerobic performance.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave young active men creatine for three weeks and found it improved their power, strength, and endurance just like the claim says.
