Creatine loading and breath-hold cycling performance
This study tests whether taking creatine monohydrate for 7 days improves how long you can hold your breath while cycling. It's for healthy, experienced breath-hold divers who haven't used creatine recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a trained breath-hold diver (like freediving or competitive underwater swimming).
- You have at least one year of experience in dynamic breath-hold training and competition.
- You have not taken creatine monohydrate supplements for at least 6 weeks.
- You do not have any acute or chronic medical conditions.

This study looks at how your brain responds during breath-hold (free) diving training. Researchers want to understand the cognitive—or thinking and mental—changes that happen when you practice holding your breath underwater, which could help improve training safety and performance.
This study tests if taking creatine supplements helps active adults during exercise in simulated high-altitude conditions. It may help you understand how your body performs with creatine in low-oxygen environments.
This study tests whether taking creatine with carbs helps active adults run or cycle longer. If you're healthy, exercise regularly, and haven't used creatine before, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether taking creatine supplements helps with exercise performance and how your body handles water during exercise in heat. Researchers want to understand if creatine can improve athletic performance and body hydration in young male athletes.
This study tests whether taking creatine supplements affects muscle function in healthy young adults who are not currently doing resistance training. It may help understand if creatine can benefit people new to exercise.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle training program (using an app) can improve endurance in healthy cyclists and triathletes. If you are a competitive road cyclist or triathlete, this might help you learn more about your breathing and performance.
