Efeito da suplementação de creatina sobre a estratégia de prova em teste contra-relógio de 1 km

Abstract

The search for the best performance in various sports competitions has led highlevel athletes to make use diet combinations that help in achieving that goal, in addition to routine training, making supplementation a common practice in recent decades. Thus, this dissertation presents two articles: a review, where were discussed the effects of Creatins (Cr) supplementation on performance in highintensity continuous exercise and in high-intensity intermittent exercise; and a result paper, where the effect of Cr supplementation has been tested on the pacing strategy in a 1 km time-trial. 19 cyclists were divided into two groups: an experimental group (N = 10) and a placebo group (N = 9). They performed two tests 1 km time-trial, one pre and one post-supplementation. It was found that after 5 days of Cr supplementation (20 g / day) there was a body weight gain in the experimental group ( p < 0.05 ) accompanied by an pacing improvement from the 28th to the 45th but it was not enough to promote improvement of the final time.
