Argumentative Essay On Creatine

Creatine (Benefits) In recent years, Creatine has proved to people, particularly “athletes” in the bodybuilding and strength training world that it is a promising product/supplement that they have successfully benefited from- by using it properly. So what exactly is creatine, who benefits from it and why use it? In the Bodybuilding page, David Robson, in his article explains to us the product and writes his own review of creatine benefits, who will benefit and types to buy plus much more. He uses scientific support to back its benefits. He tells us that Creatine is a product that delivers on its promise of improved strength and it is one of the most successful supplements to hit shelves at stores. The reason why Creatine has become one of the most recognized product over the years is due to it becoming more advanced and being used by hard training athletes that has
delivered its promise of improved strength and enhanced muscle size. Creatine has been trending and will continue to do so because of its promising results and people who did or may have not known much about creatine back then, now have the opportunity to read an article written from a bodybuilder/personal trainer by David Robson about the great lasting benefits of this supplement. The following will be some of the main points he discusses in his article about the benefits of supplementing with creatine: Increases muscle strength and size, enhances recovery, improves sprint performance, enhances brain function. The first point listed in the article is that Creatine is used during a high intensity workout.
Creatine enhances the body’s capacity to perform high intensity work, therefore improving the performance of the muscle to gain in size. He states that creatine phosphate (high energy molecule form, stored within cells) that is used to supply the type 11b muscle fibers which are the fast-twitch high glycolytic, to give energy right away. This actually helps the athlete perform and engage more forcefully since muscular contraction fibers are already being strengthened. In fact another article also states that creatine “enhances the ability of the muscle to maintain power output during brief periods of high intensity exercise (theathleticbuild, -n.d).” That being said, when ATP in your cells are depleted and can no longer function/contract accordingly, there is always a method for which ATP can be rebuilt. As we had mentioned Creatine phosphate is a way in which we can replenish that ATP. This is how many people complete additional sprints, reps, etc during their exercises, with the assistance of
creatine. A second point is that Creatine enhances recovery. How so? David explains to us that in “recent years creatine has been studied for its post exercise muscle regeneration properties.” According to a study performed by Santos and colleagues in 2004, they studied the effects of creatine supplementation on muscle cell damage in experienced endurance athletes running a 30 kilometre race. They
