Limitaciones identificadas
Explicación de la calificación
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, a strength. However, several critical limitations existed, including the small sample size, limited age range of the sample, and the absence of dietary control and menstrual cycle phase information, reduce the generalizability and impact. Furthermore, there is funding bias from a company with a vested interest in promoting creatine.
