The Impact of Creatine Supplementation on Recovery Following Exercise-Induced Muscle Injury.

Abstract: Creatine supplementation is well-established for its capacity to improve high-intensity exercise performance by augmenting phosphocreatine levels in skeletal muscle. In addition to enhancing performance, current research has investigated its function in alleviating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and promoting recovery processes. This study offers a thorough overview and original research results from a randomized controlled trial examining the impact of creatine supplementation on recovery indicators after eccentric exercise-induced muscle injury. Findings demonstrate substantial decreases in indicators of muscle injury and improved recovery rates with creatine supplementation, underscoring its potential advantages for athletes and coaches in maximizing training adaptations and performance.
