Creatine works by saturating your muscles with a high - energy compound
called creatine phosphate, and it can be used by the body as an immediate energy supply when you need to push out those last few reps in the gym.
To replenish the ATP levels quickly, muscle cells contain a high - energy phosphate compound
called creatine phosphate.
This response requires healthy lashings of adrenaline combined with readily available ATP from a compound we all have in our bodies in small amounts
called creatine phosphate.

The
phosphate group is removed from
creatine phosphate by an enzyme
called creatine kinase, and is transferred to ADP to form ATP.
Together, the ATP levels and
creatine phosphate levels are
called the phosphagen system.
For developing the ultra-short-term energy system
called the
creatine -
phosphate system, extend the recovery time even more to a work to rest ratio of around 1: 10 - 15.
For example, a sprinter should be focusing on repeated effort, explosive, free weight leg exercises, as well as drills that repeatedly
call upon the body to quickly replenish ATP / CP (Adenosine Triphosphate and
Creatine Phosphate - the primary energy currency and short term energy storage molecules respectively) with minimal recovery.
Creatine interacts with an enzyme process called creatine kinase (CK) where it picks up a phosphate molecule and becomes creatine phosphate also called phosphocreati
