  1. The Effects of Creatine Supplementation on Anaerobic Exercise Performance By: Nick Wall & Jeff Rothstein

  2. Outline • Physiological Introduction • Effects of Creatine Supplementation • Experiment results • Performance • Dosage • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • Anaerobic exercise performance: • Maintained for very short duration • Muscular fatigue & exhaustion reached • Energy requirement met by ATP

  4. Introduction (cont.) • ATP + ATPase (enzyme)  ADP + Pi + energy • ATP used for energy produces ADP • PCr high energy molecule • Used to regenerate ATP • ATP and PCr limited in body • Depleted quickly during anaerobic performance • Limit affects duration • PCr+ ADP + H+  ATP + Cr

  5. Introduction (cont.) • 3 energy systems in the human body: • ATP-PCr system • Glycolytic system • Oxidative system

  6. ATP-PCr system • Immediate fuel sources are ATP, PCr, and ADP • ADP is reformed into ATP by PCr or another ADP molecule • Creatine kinase breaks PCr into Pi and Cr • Pi is paired with ADP forming new ATP • Lasts 10-30 seconds (Linderman, Redondo, Wilmore)

  7. Glycolytic System • Glucose found in blood and glycogen stored in muscles or liver • Converted to glucose-6-phosphate • Anaerobic Glycolysis • 12 enzymatic reactions • Breakdown glycogen to lactic acid without oxygen • Net gain - Glucose yields 2 ATP, Glycogen yields 3 ATP • Lasts 20-120 seconds – high intensity exercise

  8. Oxidative System • 3 Processes to produce ATP: • Aerobic glycolysis • Krebs Cycle • Electron Transport Chain • Slow in producing ATP • Tremendous energy-yielding capacity • Used in endurance events (Wilmore)

  9. Creatine Supplementation Effects on Body PCr • PCr occurs naturally in the muscles of the body • Creatine obtained through diet (Chwalbinska-Moneta, Redondo) • Increased levels of dietary creatine • Increase levels of PCr in the muscles??? • Increase synthesis of ATP??? PCr levels high?

  10. Creatine Supplementation Effects on Body PCr (cont.) • Studies suggest creatine supplementation • Increases levels of PCr in the muscles (Burke, Hamilton, Mujika, Tarnopolsky) • Increasing PCr in the body results in • More ATP produced during high intensity exercise. • Useful Force • Increases in strength? • Increases in speed? • Creatine = ergogenic aid (Hamilton, Ostojic, Redondo, Tarnopolsky)

  11. Summary of Experiments on Results Forgot my creatine this morning! • Results vary proving creatine as ergogenic aid • Positive results for power increase • Delayed onset of fatigue • Mixed results on increases of speed • Mixed results on decreased sprint times • Creatine proven effective • Proper dosages Low PCr = Low ATP = Less energy = Slower start?

  12. Summary (cont.) • Tests performed • Creatine increased power • Creatine decreased fatigue • Tests producing negative results • Protocol durations too long • Once exceeding immediate energy system capabilities • Non-oxidative system used primarily • Doesn’t use PCr

  13. Results • Creatine supplementation • Increase in PCr concentrations in muscles • More PCr to re-synthesize ATP • Dosage affects results • 20g / day * 5-8 days • Mixed results • Appears high dosage for 5-8 days • Enough time for muscles to increase PCr concentrations • 7.7g / day * 21 days • Significant increase in power • Significant delay of fatigue • Amount and time frame consumed main factor

  14. Results • Studies yielding no results • Affected by dosage and/or duration • Trained or not • Most studies on athletes • Different results compared to athlete vs. non-athlete • Creatine might not affect the already trained individual • Overall • Supplementation needs to follow dosage and duration • Protocol for testing must utilize immediate energy system (>10-30 seconds)

  15. Table of Results

  16. Non-Performance Related Findings • Adverse Effects • Protective effects • Gastrointestinal disturbances • Muscle cramps • Liver and kidney dysfunction • Well controlled studies almost nonexistent (Poortmans)

  17. Non-Performance Related Findings • Body Composition • 28d period • Used Phosphagen HP (creatine + glucose/taurine electrolyte supplement) • Body weight increased • No differences in % of total body water (Kreider) • 42d period • Body mass increased • Not attributed to water retention • Muscle growth (Francaux)

  18. Conclusion • Muscle cells have 2 high energy substrates • ATP and PCr • ATP fuels the working muscle • Converted to ADP during use • PCr converts ADP back to ATP • Provides more immediate energy • Immediate energy system • First 10-30 seconds on maximal sprint

  19. Conclusion (cont.) • Short term use • <6 days does not affect performance • Dosage • <20g during short term use results in no change • Most important factor • >20g/day for more than 5 days provided results • Low dose for long term provides results
