Am I right in saying that creatine basically lets your muscles work longer before weakening?

Question

I know what creatine does i just want a Yes or No answer to my question

Answer 1

Once consumed, creatine travels to the muscles via the blood stream. Once inside the muscle cells, it is turned into a substance called creatine phosphate. Creatine phosphate is used for very short term energy bursts for such activities like strength training and other sports that require short, fast bursts of activity. How does it do this? Creatine phosphate aids in replenishing your reserves of ATP. Adenosine triphosphate -ATP is the molecular fuel that provides the power for muscular contractions.

So, whenever you do an activity that requires short term burst of energy such as strength training and weight lifting, your body relies on ATP. ATP is used as the primary fuel source for short term energy bursts that lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds (Of maximum muscular output). However, after this time period elapses, your stuck with little ATP reserves which means low fuel.

Answer 2

Intense effort allows your muscles to switch to work that doesn't use oxygen by changing chemical ratios(ATP/ADP). Muscles can do this for about 7 to 14 seconds naturally. Creatine allows you to take these breaks more often. So if your running your body will "catch its breath" every 1 1/2 minutes (hard effort)until it runs out of chemicals to do so. Your body manufactures creatine, as do all mammals. When you eat meat you gain the creatine that was in the muscles of that animal when it died. Fish is known to have high levels. Vegetarians are known to be very sensitive to the effects of creatine, while omnivores tend to already have hightened levels on a daily bases. I
