Is it true that a 2026 study reported by PhillyVoice found that creatine supplementation increased muscle mass and strength in participants who did not follow an exercise program?
Unclear. No retrieved item reports the specific 2026 PhillyVoice study or any trial of creatine supplementation in participants not following an exercise program. The creatine items found all describe creatine as an adjunct to resistance training, which only indirectly bears on the claim.
