Creatine has become very popular among athletes. It is usually taken by bodybuilding athletes who wish to gain muscle mass. Marginal increase of athletic performance was noticed in high intensity anaerobic repetitive cycling sprints. However, such studies done on swimmers and runners did not produce significant results. Although creatine can increase power during anaerobic exercise it has no significant effect on aerobic endurance. Creatine is not banned by the majority of sport-governing bodies. Although college players are allowed to use creatine independently colleges in USA cannot provide creatine supplements to their players. In some countries, such as France, creatine is banned.
