摘要：Scorcine C, Nascimento M, Colantonio E, Madureira F. Effect of Creatine Supplementation on Performance of Swimmers in Open Water. JEPonline 2013;16(5):51-56. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of creatine supplementation (CS) in open water swimmers. The sample consisted of 30 experienced swimmers who were divided into two distinct groups. Only one group was assigned to CS. The experiment period lasted 9 wks. Four tests (500 m swim, 50 m swim, 50 m using only the legs for propulsion, and 50 m using only the arms for propulsion) were conducted in two stages before and after the supplementation period. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare before and after the supplementation and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare between the two groups. There was a significant improvement for the CS group in the 50 m test using only the legs for propulsion (50.43 pre-test) and (48.29 post-test). For all other swim test results, there were no significant differences between the tests.
