week long resistance training program in a study conducted by Vandenberghe, Goris, Van Hecke, Van Leemputte, Vangerven and Hespel (1997). Measures were compared to a control group receiving the same training but given a placebo. Findings showed that high-doses of creatine increased muscle creatine by 6 percent and that this increased was maintained when training was lengthened to 10 weeks, even when the dosage was lowered. Based on these and other findings, it was concluded that long-term creatine supplementation enhances the progress of muscle strength during resistance training in females.
Lim (2003) examined how creatine supplements affected body composition, muscular strength and power in a sample of female volleyball players. All of the subjects (N=36) were participants in a training program that included weightlifting. One group of subjects was given creatine while the other g roup was given a placebo. Measures were collected both before and after the study was conducted; these included bod
