Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how creatine supplements affect lower limb strength performance, focusing on exercises lasting less than 3 minutes, and included 60 studies with over 1,290 participants.
The findings showed small but significant improvements in strength for exercises like squats and leg presses, with effect sizes around 0.30, indicating a modest beneficial effect of creatine supplementation.
The analysis found no clear link between the effectiveness of creatine and factors like age, sex, physical activity level, or dosing variables, suggesting its benefits are relatively consistent across different populations.]
