What are the suggested performance benefits of using creatine supplements?
A
Increases aerobic capacity
B
Increases stamina
C
Increases distance you can jump
D
Extends ATP-CP system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Creatine Enhances Strength and Power ATP energy is the main fuel source for high-intensity exercise. Because creatine can increase phosphocreatine levels and therefore increase ATP energy production, it is one of the few supplements repeatedly proven to increase strength and power ( 14 ).

Detailed explanation-2: -Creatine supplementation increases the levels of phosphocreatine (PCr) in muscles, which is used by creatine kinase to regenerate Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in skeletal muscle. Increased levels of PCr improves exercise performance during high intensity exercise and muscular strength and endurance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adenosine Triphosphate–Creatine Phosphate System The ATP–creatine phosphate system transfers a high-energy phosphate from creatine phosphate to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to regenerate ATP. This anaerobic system can provide ATP for approximately 30 seconds for activities such as sprinting and weightlifting.
