Does creatine before sleep improve power in active women?
This study tests if taking a small dose of creatine before bed helps women who exercise regularly perform better on power-based activities like jumping and sprinting. It's designed for healthy, young women who already do resistance training and want to see if a simple supplement can boost their nighttime recovery and next-day performance.
