Effect of creatine supplementation on body composition and performance: a meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

A meta-analysis conducted by including a limited number of studies reported no ergogenic effect of creatine on anaerobic performance (63), though numerous reviews supported the efficacy of creatine supplementation in improving performance and increasing body mass (5, 22, 48, 66, 97, 115). This meta-analysis included a large number of studies and also addresses the efficacy of creatine supplementation in the areas of body composition and aerobic performance.
