Yes, there are numerous performance benefits that GAA players can benefit from supplementing with Creatine Monohydrate:
1.Increase in strength. Considering Gaeilic Football, Ladies Football, Hurling and Camogie are all contact sports, an increase in strength can be the difference between you outmuscling our opponent and winning the ball or being outmuscled and losing the ball.
Strength training combined with creatine has shown to improve strength in comparison to resistance training alone.
2. High-intensity exercise (sprints). GAA players are often required to sprint during games. Whether you are a corner forward looking to break away from your marker or a goalkeeper who needs to make it to the 20 metre line quickly, creatine supplementation can be helpful in improving sprint performance and sprint ability. Creatine has also been shown to improve jump height also, which is another advantage to have on the field.
3. Increase in muscle recovery. Creatine may also help improve muscle recovery between bouts of intense activity (e.g.) training, match, resistance training.
