Does creatine improve performance in athletic events?
A. Studies investigating the effects of creatine supplementation on short term, high intensity exercises have reported equivocal results, but, as a rule, a greater number of studies have reported benefits versus no effects. At this point, it is difficult to know for certain how much of role creatine supplementation plays in athletic performance. Creatine supplementation does not appear to aid endurance type exercises, such as long distance running or cycling.
