Creatine Supplementation and Swim Performance: A Brief Review
Multiple authors
Review of creatine supplementation effects on swimming performance in competitive swimmers, showing improvements in repeated high-intensity swimming efforts and power development on swim bench ergometers, though effects on single sprint performance were inconsistent.
Creatine May Improve Performance During Short Bursts of Activity
Ohio State University researchers
Study of nine male swimmers who received creatine supplementation for two weeks showed an average 2% improvement in 50-meter swim time, with notable increases in swimming speed after 13.5 days of supplementation.
Sport supplementation in competitive swimmers: a systematic review
Multiple authors
Systematic review analyzing the effects of sports supplements on competitive swimmers, confirming that creatine supplementation demonstrates ergogenic benefits for swimming performance, though evidence remains limited.
Effects of Different Dietary Supplements on Swimming Performance
Multiple authors
Systematic review and network meta-analysis examining dietary supplements for swimming performance in competitive swimmers, demonstrating that L-arginine and citrulline were most effective for reducing 100m swimming time, while beta-alanine was most effective for reducing blood lactate.
