Abstract

Aims: Creatine supplementation is widely used by athletes to improve physical fitness and sports performance, so the purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of creatine supplementation on the physical factors and performance of female futsal players.

Methods: For this purpose, 20 female futsal players (age: 21.7 ± 1.2 years, height: 1.60 ± 0.05 m, weight: 59.23 ± 1.25 kg, and body mass index: 23.40 ± 0.11 kg/m2) were randomly divided into two groups of 10 people in the creatine supplement group. (daily 20 grams of creatine supplement in the form of 4 servings of 5 grams for two weeks) and a placebo group (daily consumption of 20 grams of matodextrin (placebo). Height, weight, body mass index and speed performance, agility, leg strength and anaerobic power test were done in pre-test and post-test.

Results: The results of the paired t-test showed a significant decrease in speed (p=0.019) and agility (p=0.01) and a significant increase in leg strength (p=0.01) and anaerobic capacity (p=0.01) in the creatine supplement group compared to The pre-test showed. Also, the results of the independent t test showed that in the creatine supplement group, the speed record (p=0.011) and agility (p=0.001) were significantly lower, and leg strength (p=0.001) and anaerobic power (p=0.001) were significantly lower.

Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that taking creatine supplement for two weeks can probably increase the physical performance of female futsalists.
