INTRODUCTION
Creatine supplement can be referred to as an organic compound that helps in improving
strength and increase lean muscle mass. It also helps the muscles to recover quickly during
exercise. The creatine compound is also found in foods such as seafood as well as red meat. In
older adults and athletes, creatine is most commonly used for improving exercise performance as
well as increasing the overall muscle mass. The compound is basically involved in making the
energy that is required the muscles to work effectively. The project includes a review of five
different articles on the topic “In physically active adults, does creatine supplement aid in
enhancing resistance training performance, specifically bench press”. Resistance training helps in
increasing the overall strength of the muscles against a weight. There are different forms of
resistance training such as using free weights, resistance bands as well as weight machines. The
rationale behind conducting this review is to develop an enhanced understanding if creatine helps
in improving performance in resistance training in physically active adults especially in bench
pass. This will help in enhancing the overall knowledge of the readers about the importance of
creatine supplement. By reviewing different articles, the researcher will be able to analyze the
findings of the studies.
Methods
Article 1
Search strategy
A systematic research was conducted in order to understand the influence of oral
supplementation of creatine on muscle performance during high-intensity resistance exercise.
During the search, different databases were referred to in order to find the most relevant article.
Various key words as well as synonyms were considered and different studies were found.
Inclusion/exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria refers to the key features of the target audience that the researcher uses
in order to answer he research question. The inclusion criteria for this research were 14 men who
were physically active. On the other hand, exclusion criteria refers to the set of pre-defined
definitions that are used for identifying subjects who are not included in the study 0or they have
withdrawn themselves after being included (Creatine Supplementation Enhances Muscular
