Creatine Beyond Strength Performance
Creatine is widely recognized for its role in improving strength and power, but emerging research suggests broader applications. Studies have explored its potential benefits for cognitive function, recovery and even mood. This expands its relevance beyond traditional strength-focused populations.
While these findings are promising, they are still developing. Dosage, population and context all influence outcomes. Coaches may need to evaluate whether creatine fits a client’s goals beyond performance alone.
