Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creatine supplements are known to potentially enhance performance in high-intensity, short-duration activities by increasing the availability of ATP, the energy molecule, during the initial seconds of intense activity. However, for low-intensity, endurance sports like long-distance running, the benefits are less clear and generally considered to be minimal, as these activities rely more on aerobic metabolism.
