Interestingly, there is some rising evidence pointing to a link between aspirin consumption and storage
of phosphagens in the muscle tissue.
Experts theorised taken anytime of the day creatine would enter the body, improve the efficiency
of the phosphagen system and in turn the size, strength and speed of the muscles.
As I have outlined in the article 3 Steps to Develop your own Power Training Method that Power is effectively trained with short durations due to the high involvement
of the Phosphagen System / ATP - CP energy system.
Not exact matches
The initial energy for short - term, high - intensity bouts
of exercise depends on the
phosphagen system and fast glycolysis.
This ATP, delivered through what is known as our creatine phosphate (CP or
phosphagen) system, gives us enough energy for immediate but very short bursts
of activity lasting just a few seconds.
The
phosphagen system provides high amounts
of energy, exhaust quickly and needs a long time to replenish (3 - 5 minutes), therefore the rest between training sets should take this information into consideration.
The
phosphagen system provides us with the highest amounts
of energy for short period
of time (6 to 10 seconds)?
If we look at the neurological demands and the demands on the energy system
of power training, we can see that Power training (if done correctly) has a high demand on the nervous system and primarily uses the
Phosphagen system or ATP - CP system (if you want to know more about energy systems, this article from Breaking Muscle explains it well) which means you need complete rest between your sets to give the neuromuscular system and energy system sufficient rest to reproduce efforts at a high intensity.
Creatine serves as an essential part
of the ATP - CP energy system, also known as
phosphagen system.
