Creatine has been extensively researched and is well-supported as one of the most effective dietary supplements available. There is overwhelming support within the literature regarding the ability of creatine to augment performance following short term (5-7 days) and long-duration supplementation periods. There is also strong support for creatine regarding its safety profile and minimal risk for adverse events or any negative influence on markers of clinical health and safety. Recent research has also highlighted the ability of creatine to confer several health-related benefits in select clinical populations in addition to offering cognitive benefits. Creatine is also a popular supplement of choice for adolescent athletes; however, research in this area is extremely limited, particularly when examining the safety and efficacy of creatine supplementation in this population. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to highlight the limited number of studies available in adolescent populations and systematically discuss the topic of safety of creatine supplementation in a younger population.
肌酸已得到广泛研究,作为最有效的膳食补充剂之一,它获得了充分的支持。文献中对于肌酸在短期(5 - 7天)和长期补充期后增强运动表现的能力有着压倒性的支持。关于肌酸的安全性概况以及不良事件风险极小或对临床健康与安全指标无任何负面影响,也有强有力的支持。最近的研究还强调了肌酸除了提供认知益处外,还能在特定临床人群中带来一些与健康相关的益处。肌酸也是青少年运动员常用的补充剂选择;然而,这一领域的研究极其有限,尤其是在研究肌酸补充剂在该人群中的安全性和有效性时。因此,本综述的目的是突出青少年人群中现有研究数量有限,并系统地讨论在较年轻人群中补充肌酸的安全性这一话题。
