Notes
- Abstract:
- The purpose of this study was to determine if 5 days of creatine supplementation could improve repeated sprint run performance designed to mimic a typical collegiate tennis match. Sixteen highly trained NCAA Division II collegiate tennis players (12M, 4F) were randomly assigned to either a placebo (P) or creatine (C) supplementation group. The subjects participated in a sprint test before supplementation (Tl) and then received creatine (20g/d) or placebo for five days before the second test was carried out (T2). The test consisted of eight 70m multi-directional maximal sprint runs with a 30s rest period between each sprint. Body mass was measured prior to each test. The results demonstrated that 5 days of creatine loading had no significant effect on sprint performance or body mass, as determined by repeated measures ANOVA. We conclude that 5 days of creatine supplementation cannot be considered an ergogenic aid for sprint performance in highly trained collegiate tennis players.
