Document Summary
What are the benefits of creatine supplements? (continued: 7. Pcr utilization and restoration improves w/ creatine ingestion. Has about 10% more pcr (an average) when starting exercise and depletes. Pcr at the same rate (so constantly having 10% more pcr throughout the exercise) Start at a higher level: rate of depletion is the same as the normal individual, have a higher plateau. Has a better recovery of pcr (the recovery of pcr is faster get 90% back in 1 minute) Since there is more creatine in the muscle the reverse (cpk) reaction is driven backwards at a faster rate to replenish phosphocreatine faster (faster production of phosphocreatine) Leads to improvements in performance you are ready for the next bout or interval of training faster. Therefore - if you have more energy or atp for each next set of exercise you will be more productive you can train harder performance will be better (with more creatine: 8.
