“…There are not many reports on creatine malate supplementation, however a study carried out among judokas showed that supplementation with CML did not cause the expected ergogenic effect and no changes in body constitution were noticed (34). It is worth emphasizing that the study was carried out with a non-representative sample of athletes.…”

“…For this study the authors chose the most commonly used creatine malate (CML) dose, which was of 0.07 g×kg -1 LBM (5 g/70 kg LBM) (5,34). This was explained by the fact that daily pool of endogenous creatine amount should be 2 g for a person with LBM -70 kg and the body consumes 2 g daily, which is in half regained through re-synthesis in the liver, whereas the remaining 1 g should be delivered with food (29).…”

“…On the other hand, if consumed in smaller doses, creatine malate (CML) has been reported to have an ergogenic effect similar to creatine monohydrate (21,34). As one of the carboxylic acids, it easily permeates through mitochondria and transports products of glucose breakdown.…”

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine whether creatine malate (CML) supplementation results in similar ergogenic effect in sprinters and long-distance runners. The other goal was to compare changes in body composition, physical performance and hormone levels after six-week training in athletes, divided into subgroups supplemented with creatine malate or taking placebo. Results: Six-week supplementation combined with physical training induced different effects in athletes. Significantly higher increases in relative and absolute peak power and total work (p < 0.05) were found in sprinters compared to other groups. Except for growth hormone, post-exercise venous blood serum hormone levels exhibited no statistically significant differences in athletes. After CML loading period, a significant increase in growth hormone was found in the group of sprinters. Conclusions: A significant ergogenic effect was found in sprinters, which was reflected by the increase in anaerobic exercise indices and morphological indices and elevated growth hormone level, after graded exercise testing. The significant increase in the distance covered during graded test was only observed in supplemented long-distance runners, whereas no significant changes in maximal oxygen uptake, relative peak power and relative total work were noticed. This could be caused by later anaerobic threshold appearance in exercise test to exhaustion.Keywords: long-distance runners, sprinters, creatine malate supplementation, body composition, maximal oxygen uptake, peak power output, growth hormone, cortisol, testosteroneThe effect of creatine on physical performance development is a subject of interest among many researchers. Since its discovery in 1832 by Chevreul, the effect of creatine on the human body has been investigated in numerous laboratories all over the world. The welldocumented properties of creatine include its biosynthesis and distribution in human body (19,39), its role in energy conversion in skeletal muscles and delayed fatigue (18,20,40), pattern and the effect of creatine intake on ability to perform physical exercise (2,7,12,13).

“…Sterkowicz et al 23 showed a significant improvement in anaerobic performance (i .e., time to generate peak power) after judo training. These results can be explained by the fact that the kickboxing is characterized by brief high intensity techniques (punches and kicks) where the effort is probably maintained by the Adenosine Tri Phosphate-Creatine Phosphate system 17 .…”

“…In the scientific literature, there is no consensus about the effect of martial arts training on aerobic fitness because there are many variables (i.e., training intensity, duration and frequency and the aerobic fitness initial levels of the participants) that can bias its effect. Therefore, some studies 6,22,23 demonstrated that combat sports' training did not show any aerobic improvement, while Toskovic et al 24 showed that dynamic taekwondo workout can be a suitable exercise for enhancing aerobic fitness and therefore can be appropriately prescribed for cardiovascular conditioning. Similarly, Yoshimura and Imamura 13 showed that 30-min of basic karate training during 10-weeks can be an appropriate method for enhancing cardiovascular fitness.…”

SummaryAim: the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of kickboxing training on physical fitness. Methods: 30 subjects were randomized into a kickboxing-group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Each group trained approximately 1-hour per day, three-times per a week during five weeks. Musclepower (upper-body: bench-press-test, medicineball-test; lower-body: squat-jump and countermovement-jump-test), flexibility, speed and agility, aerobic (progressive maximal exercise test), anaerobic fitness (Wingate test) and body composition were assessed before and after the training period. Results: the kickboxing group showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in upper-body muscle power, aerobic power, anaerobic fitness, flexibility, speed and agility after training whereas body composition, squat jump and counter movement jump (height, power and velocity components) did not change for both groups. Conclusion: kickboxing-practice was effective to change many physical variables. Thus, this activity can be useful for enhancing physical fitness, but complementary activities and/or nutritional interventions should be necessary.

Creatine is a popular ergogenic supplement in sports nutrition. Yet, supplementation of creatine occasionally caused adverse effects such as gastrointestinal complaints, muscle cramps and an increase in body weight. Creatine monohydrate has already been evaluated by different competent authorities and several have come to the conclusion that a daily intake of 3 g creatine per person is unlikely to pose safety concerns, focusing on healthy adults with exclusion of pregnant and breastfeeding women. Possible vulnerable subgroups were also discussed in relation to the safety of creatine. The present review provides an up-to-date overview of the relevant information with special focus on human studies regarding the safety of creatine monohydrate and other marketed creatine forms, in particular creatine pyruvate, creatine citrate, creatine malate, creatine taurinate, creatine phosphate, creatine orotate, creatine ethyl ester, creatine pyroglutamate, creatine gluconate, and magnesium creatine chelate. Limited data are available with regard to the safety of the latter creatine forms. Considering an acceptable creatine intake of 3 g per day, most of the evaluated creatine forms are unlikely to pose safety concerns, however some safety concerns regarding a supplementary intake of creatine orotate, creatine phosphate, and magnesium creatine chelate are discussed here.
