Anaerobic capacity is the rate at which ATP can be produced during a given exercise (Sahlin, 2014) and is a function of the amount of
available phosphocreatine, buffering capacity, and the amount of muscle mass that is contracting (Sahlin, 2014).
Having readily
available phosphocreatine, and thus ATP, available in your muscles translates to a very practical and desirable benefit during your workout: you're able to perform much more intense and explosive workouts, and you won't feel tired as quickly.
Not exact matches
Muscle cells require huge amounts of this molecule known as ATP for movement, and they make use of
phosphocreatine as an
available source of energy for manufacturing ATP.
When rested, before any activity, a small reserve of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), together with
phosphocreatine (PC) is
available as ATP - PC for an immediate source of energy, to use any time instantly, without oxygen, good for a maximum of 11 to 13 seconds of all out, «full effort».
Running completely on the energy provided by the adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and
phosphocreatine (PC)
available instantly at the muscle fiber site.
