Effectiveness of a soccer injury prevention program based on creatine supplementation and internal load monitoring: a randomized controlled pilot study
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of creatine supplementation on injury prevention in soccer players.
Conducted as a randomized controlled pilot study
Participants received creatine supplementation
Internal load was monitored throughout the study
Assessed strength and jump performance before and after intervention
Creatine supplementation improved strength and jump performance
Lower injury incidence was observed, suggesting a positive trend
Supports the potential inclusion of creatine in injury-prevention strategies for soccer
Abstract
Creatine supplementation improved strength and jump performance and showed a trend toward lower injury incidence, supporting its potential as an adjunct in soccer injury-prevention programs.
