Sponsor's own description

Creatine is an ergogenic aid with positive effects on muscle and performance. The aim of the study was to determine whether there is a difference between the effects of creatine supplementation taken together with Wingate-based HIIT on anaerobic power, leg strength, heart rate variability and body composition. In the study, Wingate-based HIIT program was applied three days a week for six weeks. Anaerobic power (Wingate anaerobic power test), heart rate variability (Polar H10 chest band), leg strength (back and leg dynamometer) and body composition (PlusAvis 333) measurements of the participants were made 1 week before the training program started and the week after the training program ended. Twenty physically active adult men aged 18-30 were voluntarily included for the study. Participants were divided into two groups: Wingate-based HIIT with creatine supplementation (K-HIIT) and Wingate-based HIIT only (HIIT). As a result of the analysis, it was seen that creatine supplementation taken together with wingate-based HIIT had an effect and increased on the anaerobic power parameters, peak power, average power and minimum power values, and leg strength. In addition, it was determined that heart rate variability parameters improved heart rate (HR, beat/min) and low frequency (LF, ms2) values, but did not cause any change in body composition. Comparing and investigating the effects of different HIIT methods on anaerobic power, leg strength, heart rate variability and body composition will increase the generalizability of the study.
