Nardone. He had 12 men participate with the intake of creatine monohydrate. The main objective of this experiment was “To determine whether creatine supplementation would diminish the severity of statin-induced myalgia, weakness, and cramping.” (Shewmon, 4) This experiment was over a 6 week period and the doctor along with his staff monitored the patients’ soreness. The subjects of this test were given 5g of creatine a day, twice a day, for the first week. He called this “creatine loading”. “The patients were then limited to 3-5g of creatine once a day for the last 5 weeks.” (Shewmon, 2) The results from this experiment were very minimal as far as limiting muscle weakness and cramping, but it was an improvement. The symptoms addressed in this study are typical to the movements that a starting pitcher may face when he pitches due to the explosive movements that are required to perform the task of throwing a
