Muscle damage is induced by both high-intensity resistance and en-durance exercise. Creatine is a widely used dietary supplement to im-prove exercise performance by reducing exercise-induced muscle damage. Many researchers have suggested that taking creatine reduc-es muscle damage by decreasing the inflammatory response and oxi-dative stress, regulating calcium homeostasis, and activating satellite cells. However, the underlying mechanisms of creatine and muscle damage have not been clarified. Therefore, this review discusses the regulatory effects of creatine on muscle damage by compiling the infor-mation collected from basic science and sports science research.
