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.
