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.
StrongSupportsVERY_HIGH confidence
Wingate peak and mean power both increased in both contexts... with no evidence that training context modified these results.
Why this rating
High-certainty evidence (GRADE) for Wingate peak power.
