INTRODUCTION
Creatine is defined as the natural substance which is used to turn the substance into
creatine phosphate in the body. This creatine phosphate usually help to make the substance that
used to produce the energy in body called as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). As per this, the ATP
help to provide the energy which is used by muscle in order to create the contraction in muscle.
In context with this, the creatine is self-produce by body in order to use. It also synthesis form
the protein rich food such as higher cholesterol food and fluid for example meat and fish. With
relation to this, they scientist used to discover the creatine supplement which help body to
improve the physical performance. In the context with this, the creatine is usually used by
number of people in order to increase their physical activity such as athletes. The creatine
became of the measure supplement in the field of sports. However, this help to gain more
popularity within the school, college and term of professional athletes, the sports which is
included are football and hockey and many more. Their player is used to take creatine in way to
enhance the physical activity (Kopsidas and et. al., 2019). Moreover, the side effect of creatine
are more which include factor such as they are active and contribute in the section of failure of
body organ because thy promote the hormonal activity of gland and other necessary organs. The
side effect which is associated with this kidney damage, liver damage, kidney stones, weight
gain, bloating, dehydration, muscle cramps, digestive problems and so on. In context with this,
the project is about various article that show the effect of creatine with various aspect. The
analysis of article with proper method are discussed.
METHOD
Search strategy
ARTICLE 1: “Effect of in season (5 weeks) creatine and pyruvate supplementation on
anaerobic performance and body composition on American football player”.
For this article the systematic search was conducted in order to know the relevance of
article (Amatori and et. al., 2020). This is completed by using the PubMed.gov including the
essential of MEDLINE, HUMAN KINETICS JOURNALS, Europe PMC and also from the
Springer Link for the interrogation for the research which is published until the year 2018. In
this, the PubMed.gov have huge database in the field of research and this help to create the
spectrum which is broad and wide. The HUMAN KINETICS JOURNALS provide the research
1

in the appropriate way with the core in biomedical and complementary and essential medicine
such as orphan drug and other which is related with this. This also used to provide the brief
knowledge about the effect of creatine in season and how the pyruvate used to enhance the
properties of body and measure their possible side effect in the body. The Europe PMC and
Springer Link used to contribute in supplementation which is associated with the clinical
decision making with the prior of high quality of clinical trial and their surveillance (Udobi and
et. al., 2019).
ARTICLE 2: “Long term effect of creatine mono hydrate on strength and power”.
The systematic search which is used to conduct by using the various mode of matter such
as some relevance website are health line, Journal of strength and conditioning Research,
American physiological society and NCBI PMC for a research which is published until the year
2019. whereas NCBI PMC used to develop the advance data base which is having the collective
research paper that have broad knowledge about the factor which us used to provide the
knowledge in wide range. Health line and Journal of strength and conditioning research are used
to specify the article and this used to provide the proper information of creatine and their effect
for longer period of time. As per this, the American physiological society used to provide the
factor which is usually help in making the decision which is helpful for the synthesis of matter
(Gepner and et. al., 2019).
ARTICLE 3: “Effect of creatine supplementation on body composition. Strength and sprint
performance”
As per this. This article is systematically done by conducting the approach which is
create the relevance on the substance of various website which have proper information that is
appropriate optimization from the national library of medicine which is linked with the national
centre of biotechnology and their information. In context with this, they are supposed to use the
PubMed.gov, Research gate and the sports Journals. However, they are used to analyse by using
this because they have huge data base which allow a person to take the essential decision in their
measurable thought which is effective and used to treat possibly. The sport journal provides the
factor which is necessary for the other factor which is help to create the research on the various
topic. This all are used in form of knowledge for acquiring the more and more information which
is useful in the process of decision making and free trails (Stone and et. al., 2019).

ARTICLE 4: “Effect of 8 weeks of creatine supplementation on exercise performance and fat
free weight in the football player during training”
In context with this the researcher used to research their data in order to know the fact
and figure which help to analyse the various truth which providing information regarding the
topic that is associated with the researcher. As per this, the information is collected by website
such as ELSEVIER which is based on research, research gate, international journal of sports
studies for health, and also from the journal and research paper from the Creighton university
and this is also reviewed by the Journal of the international society of sports Nutrition. As per all,
the ELSEVIER is a software which used to provide the information which is based on various
factor such as they used to provide the simulator of surgery and other hypothesis which is
measured. Research gate are used in order to minimise the issue which is essential for the better
formulation of higher sense of decision making. The international Journal of society of sports
nutrition provide the effective diet plan for an individual who is using this in a way by which
they can learn more and more knowledge. This all knowledge is help to gain more skill and also
support in the process of decision making.
ARTICLE 5: “Creatine supplementation during resistance training in college football
athletes”
This is a systematic approach which is used in the section to explore the various factor
such as there are number of website which is access to complete the search strategies. Some of
the sites are pubmed.gov, Europe PMC, research gate, springer Link which is associated with
microbial ecology and semantic scholar. As per this, the website is used in such a way which
help to configure the essential factor. There is enormous factor which is used during the research
face. In context with this, the Pubmed.gov have the largest and huge data base in the field of
medical science and in medicine. This factor is connected with the research topic which help to
provide the extra knowledge and skill while researching. The Europe PMC and springer Link are
used in such a way to collect more relevant data and evidence to fulfil the effect and other
deviation that is perform to measure the data.
Inclusion and Exclusion criteria
ARTICLE 1: “Effect of in season (5 weeks) creatine and pyruvate supplementation on
anaerobic performance and body composition on American football player”.
The inclusion criteria were:
3

1- Primary control which is essential in order to control the trail of English language.
2- Human who use supplement below 18 years.
3- The participants are randomised in various group which is taken at least one group who used
to get a supplement which is based on creatine and pyruvate phosphate.
4- Published in the last eight years.
5- Increase the rate of activity by using the creatine supplement.
The exclusion criteria were:
1- Human less than 18 years are using supplement.
2- Human without the creatine supplement.
3- Administration of creatine and pyruvate phosphate together with other compound which is act
as the creatine supplement in order to enhance the activity of body.
4- The research studies are older than 8 years (Bernat and et. al., 2019).
5- The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies were held and their treatment options are
verified.
