Rational & Study Design

Why I created this challenge:

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements for muscle growth and strength enhancement. Numerous studies have demonstrated its efficacy in increasing muscle mass, improving performance, and reducing fatigue. Social media is abuzz with testimonials and folklore about its seemingly magical effects. However, despite the chatter, there are still gaps in understanding its impact on overall health metrics like inflammation and physical function. This challenge aims to provide concrete data on creatine's benefits and limitations by assessing Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), PROMIS Physical Function, and inflammation biomarkers. Running this study is crucial to validate these claims and provide a comprehensive understanding of creatine's impact on muscle growth and strength.

My Objective for You:

The primary objective is to determine how daily creatine supplementation impacts muscle growth, strength, and overall physical function while also monitoring inflammation biomarkers. By participating, you'll gain insights into your own physical performance and contribute valuable data to the scientific community.

Aims & Objectives:

This challenge aims to evaluate the effectiveness of daily creatine consumption in enhancing muscle mass and strength. Additionally, it will assess changes in perceived exertion, physical function, and inflammation markers from baseline to endpoint.

Significance & Impact:

The significance of this challenge lies in its potential to validate the benefits of creatine supplementation for muscle growth and strength while also providing new insights into its effects on inflammation and physical function. Expected outcomes include improved muscle mass and strength, but limitations may include individual variability in response.
