\(C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: Creatine benefits include decreased fatigue and improved performance in high-intensity, short-duration events such as sprinting and weightlifting.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: Marathon running and cycling are endurance activities that primarily use aerobic energy systems, not the ATP/PCr system.
  • B is incorrect: Yoga and flexibility practices don’t require the explosive power and ATP resynthesis that creatine supports.
  • D is incorrect: Low-intensity aerobic activities rely on aerobic metabolism rather than the ATP/PCr energy system that creatine enhances.
