|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creatine and Resistance Training | Leg-press 1RM (k = 3; n = 111) improved with creatine: MD + 7.5 kg (95% CI + 2.2 to + 12.8; I² = 0%). | 1 | Naddafha S (2026) | Creatine monohydrate for lean mass, strength, and bone density in postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Creatine and Resistance Training | Risk of bias was mostly "some concerns;" one large, preregistered, double-blind RCT was at low risk. | 1 | Naddafha S (2026) | Creatine monohydrate for lean mass, strength, and bone density in postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Creatine and Resistance Training | Conclusions In postmenopausal women, creatine, particularly ≥ 5 g·day⁻¹ with RT, yields small but meaningful gains in lean mass and strength without evidence of harm. | 1 | Naddafha S (2026) | Creatine monohydrate for lean mass, strength, and bone density in postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
| Creatine and Resistance Training | Background Menopause is accompanied by accelerated losses in muscle mass and strength and declining bone density. | 1 | Naddafha S (2026) | Creatine monohydrate for lean mass, strength, and bone density in postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis. |

| Creatine and Resistance Training | [] identified improvements in muscular strength, repeated sprint performance, power output, and fatigue resistance due to increased PCr availability, providing strong scientific support for creatine supplementation in athletic populations. | 3 | Kerksick Chad (2026) | The emerging and evolving evidence supporting creatine as an ergogenic aid: history and applications |
| Creatine and Resistance Training | There is also some evidence to suggest that short-term CrM supplementation (i.e. | 3 | Kerksick Chad (2026) | The emerging and evolving evidence supporting creatine as an ergogenic aid: history and applications |
| Creatine and Resistance Training | [] demonstrated improved repeated cycling performance following five days of CrM (4 × 5 g/day), suggesting a higher sustained power output during repeated cycling sessions. | 3 | Kerksick Chad (2026) | The emerging and evolving evidence supporting creatine as an ergogenic aid: history and applications |
