Efeitos da Suplementação de Creatina Sobre o Desempenho Físico: Uma revisão integrativa de literatura

Abstract

<jats:p>The consumption of food supplements has been decreasing nowadays. The search for the perfect body, improving sports performance or maintaining health leads people to look for ways to accelerate or process weight loss, obtain lean mass gain and retain the sarcopenia process. Creatine (CR) is among the most used dietary supplements for these purposes. The objective of the present work is to visualize the benefits brought by the practice of CR supplementation by practitioners, amateurs and professionals, from different sports. It is an integrative literature review where articles were selected using the Google Scholar, MEDLINE, LIACS and SciELO platforms and only articles published from 2016 were selected for the research sample space. The CR may be improving performance in short-term activities, and rest between high and high intensities, in addition to potentiating hypertrophy and raising strength levels. However, there is still a divergence between the results found in the selected works and, for this reason, further studies on the theme are necessary.</jats:p>

Use of creatine for muscle hypertrophy in resistance training practitioners: a narrative review

“…In addition to the increase in muscular power, strength, and lean mass, there are other benefits associated with the use of creatine, such as increased protein synthesis and re-synthesis of phosphocreatine. There is also water retention, meaning greater absorption of water by the cells at the mitochondrial level, causing them to increase in size and therefore better nourish and hydrate the muscle for hypertrophy, as a hydrated muscle contains more nutrients [8].…”

O uso da suplementação hiperproteica e creatina em pacientes idosos paliativos na cognição, funcionalidade e sarcopenia

“…A creatina é um composto de aminoácido arginina, glicina e metionina, o próprio envelhecimento reduz a produção de creatina, entretanto a suplementação exógena de creatina, pode melhorar esses estoques entre quatro a seis semanas principalmente quando associado a atividade física 68 . Recomenda-se de 3 à 5g diários para a manutenção de níveis elevados de creatina 69 .A creatina é atualmente sendo um dos suplementos de grande desta-que na sarcopenia 70 , sendo considera como um suplemento completo 71 .…”
