Sentences with phrase «stores of creatine phosphate»

Not exact matches

It works by assisting in production of vast doses of creatine phosphate in the body, which replenishes ATP (a molecule that stores and provides energy to the body).

As you already learned earlier in this book, creatine's main action in the body is to store high - energy phosphate groups in the form of phosphocreatine.

Our bodies generally draw upon a combination of carbohydrates and fats to produce ATP, with the exception being very short - duration, high - intensity anaerobic activities, such as a 100 - meter sprint where the primary fuel sources are creatine phosphate, stored ATP, and muscle glycogen (i.e., carbohydrates stored in the muscle).

Here's a quick rundown: creatine stores phosphates in your body in the form of phosphocreatine, which aids in cellular function.

Just understand the order in which energy substrates are used by the body: ATP and creatine phosphate during short, intense bursts of activity (5 - 15 seconds of actual activity), glucose for medium duration activity (20 seconds to a minute or two), and fat stores once effort is extended out beyond that.

These are stored in the body in the form of the substances adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphate.

Approximately 40 % of the body's creatine stores are free creatine (Cr), while the remaining 60 % is stored in form of creatine phosphate (CP).
