Document Summary
Easy to consume (cid:1684)too much(cid:1685) of something when taking vitamin pills- they(cid:1685)re very concentrated. Chronic exercise: regular exercise where things change chronically. Such as resting heart rate and nutrition/dietary needs. Effect: peak power during repeat 10 second efforts increased significantly. Measure of increase in power due to creatine intake. Set up 6 exercise bouts with 60 seconds recovery between 10 second sprints. Gave the athletes massive amounts of creatine (same amount in 20 pounds of meat) for 3-5 days. A placebo without creatine was also involved in the study identical in look and taste. The first sprint had peak power, then a drop off every time after that, therefore a minute wasn"t enough time to recover from the power output. Throughout the experiment, 10 second peak power output was higher with creatine. Performance enhancement apparently due to increased muscle phosphocreatine stores.
