Cover Story: We aimed to determine whether creatine supplementation influences lower-limb muscle endurance following an acute bout of aerobic exercise (AE) in young healthy men. Using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design, 11 men, with 12 months of experience in strength training and AE were randomized to receive creatine and placebo for 7 days, separated by a washout period of 14 days, before performing an acute bout of AE which was followed by four sets of bilateral leg extension endurance exercise using a 10-repetition maximum protocol (10 RM). Results: Short-term creatine supplementation has no effect on lower-limb muscle endurance following an acute bout of aerobic exercise in trained young men. View this paper.
