Effect of creatine malate supplementation on physical performance, body composition and selected hormone levels in spinters and long-distance runners.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine whether creatine malate (CML) supplementation results in similar ergogenic effect in sprinters and long-distance runners. The other goal was to compare changes in body composition, physical performance and hormone levels after six-week training in athletes, divided into subgroups supplemented with creatine malate or taking placebo.

Results: Six-week supplementation combined with physical training induced different effects in athletes.
