Introduction: Creatine has been considered an ergogenic agent for omnivores and vegetarians, however, there is a significant gap in the effects of this supplementation on vegans performance, the group with more restrictions amongst the vegetarians. Aims: To analyze the effect of creatine supplementation on performance in strength tests and body composition of vegan women. Methods: Fourteen non-athlete vegan women were randomly assigned to creatine group (n = 7) and placebo (n = 7). Before and after supplementation (0,3 g kg-1d-1 for 7 days), performance tests in leg press were done (3 series of maximum repetitions until failure, on 80% 1RM, 60 seconds interval), and anthopometry. Results: After supplementation, there were significant differences in the number of repetitions in the first series and in the sum of the three series for both groups, but with effect size and delta percentage higher for creatine group. There was no significant change in the participants’ body composition. Conclusion: The conclusion was that creatine supplementation does not differ on absolut values, however, greater effect on performance in lower limb strength tests, when compared to placebo, without affecting body composition.
