Document Summary
Why: performance enhancement is due to increased muscle phosphocreatine stores (pcr, there is an 8% increase in pcr stores when supplementing with creatine, creatine intake leads to phosphorylation (adding a. P group) which leads to the production of more pcr: you will be able to go harder and repeat that hard effort more times, for example: weightlifters will be able to lift more weight, for a longer period of time. Creatine and muscle size: creatine also increases muscle size and body mass (1-2kg) over the rst few days due to increases in intracellular water. The transporter that takes creatine into the muscle, takes water into it as well: chronic (regular) creatine ingestion and training enhances muscle growth relative to training alone. Super training effect: can train harder with more creatine. Anabolic effect of creatine: the increased muscle water may stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Very important in replenishment because some of the enzymes that are involved in.
