Energy balance

Creatine supplementation significantly improves anaerobic power (Wingate peak and mean power) regardless of whether the individual is performing resistance training or non-resistance training.

Take creatine daily to boost your high-intensity performance (like sprinting or sports). You do not need to be in a gym or doing weights to get these power benefits.
