There are many articles on the benefits of creatine supplementation in power lifters and for other
anaerobic activities such as sprints.
Dai discusses how he packed muscle on his body quickly and kept it on despite being involved in high aerobic and
anaerobic activities such as CrossFit.

Instead, he says
anaerobic activities,
such as weight training and sprinting, are the most effective for building lean muscle mass, which will increase your metabolism and decrease fat.
Our bodies generally draw upon a combination of carbohydrates and fats to produce ATP, with the exception being very short - duration, high - intensity
anaerobic activities,
such as a 100 - meter sprint where the primary fuel sources are creatine phosphate, stored ATP, and muscle glycogen (i.e., carbohydrates stored in the muscle).
If you're looking to take it to the next level at a sport
such as tennis, football, baseball, soccer, rugby or any other

anaerobic nature, there is a version of Crossfit with a twist of power that is suitable as well.
As a result, it can help you get more reps on weight training exercises, and sustain short burst
anaerobic activities —
such as sprinting, jumping, and martial arts training — with greater power for longer durations.
In this example, there is no
such increase in hormonal
activity (because there is no engagement of
anaerobic muscle fibers), and there is no need to clear
anaerobic waste (because there is no
anaerobic activity).
Anaerobic metabolism produces energy for short, high - intensity bursts of
activity lasting no more than several minutes before the lactic acid build - up reach a threshold known as the lactate threshold and muscle pain, burning and fatigue make it difficult to maintain
such intensity.
