• Abstract:

  The present study seeks to address the consequences of creatine supplementation on the body composition of physical exercise practitioners, more specifically, crossfit. To this end, a literature review was carried out in which the works addressed the analysis of the administration of creatine and placebo in practitioners of the activity. At the end of this analysis, it will be possible to observe that the administration of creatine demonstrates positive results in anaerobic performance, increase in the percentages of maximum strength, decrease in fatigue and increase in lean mass. Its use appears to be most effective in high-intensity, short-duration exercises with short intervals between sets.
