Creatine supplementation has been shown to increase exercise performance at sea level. The goal of this study is to determine the effects of creatine supplementation on exercise performance at simulated altitude.
Military personnel often encounter harsh environments such as high altitudes and hypoxic conditions, leading to significant constraints on their exercise capacity and performance. At sea-level creatine supplementation increases exercise performance; however no experimental studies have examined the effect of creatine supplementation at simulated altitude. The overall objective of this study is to investigate the effects of creatine supplementation on exercise performance, via a repeated sprints test (Wingate Test) after a 2-day supplementation period, compared to a placebo group.

Data and documentation will be available under a data-sharing agreement. Information shared with outside collaborators will link data to two unique study identifiers (de-Identified) to maintain participant anonymity, and outside researchers and the community will not be allowed to have access to participant names and confidential information.
Seven years after the date of the last participant completing the study.
Contact PI and a date-sharing agreement will be created that provides for (1) a commitment to use the data for research purposes only; (2) a commitment to securing the data using appropriate computer technology (password protected and encrypted); (3) a commitment to destroying or returning the data after analyses are completed and (4) a commitment not to attempt to identify participants individually.
