| COT | 1.00 ± 1.03 | 48 ± 130 | −0.02 ± 0.50 | 5.29 ± 2.36 |
Values are expressed as mean ± SD; GC= creatine supplemented athletes; GP= placebo (malthodextrin) supplemented athletes; COT= non-supplemented control athletes; TBARS= Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances; TAS= Total Antioxidant Status; aP value = 0.0276 vs. COT; bP value = 0.0268 vs. COT; cP value = 0.0253 vs. GP; dP value = 0.0209 vs. COT; eP value = 0.0283 vs. GP.
