What is the primary physiological role of creatine supplementation relevant to short maximal efforts?

Act as a long-term aerobic substrate enabling sustained energy production for prolonged endurance events

Stimulate cortisol release which mobilizes fat for immediate use during maximal sprints

Increase intramuscular phosphocreatine stores to facilitate rapid ATP resynthesis during short, high-intensity efforts

Directly replace ATP in muscle fibers so that cells no longer need to synthesize ATP during contractions
