Creatine is not ATP as said by George. ATP and Creatine are the products formed after the addition of Creatine Phosphate (CP) to Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP). As one begins to work hard, ATP levels are depleted (~6 sec.) in the muscle. High levels of CP then combine with ADP to provide enorh ATP to sustain workload for another 4-9 seconds. During rest, when high levels of ATP are present via production by the muscles, the reaction reverses so CP stores can be replenished. Thus ATP combines with Creatine to reproduce CP. Thus Creatine, theoretically, can be usesful for anareobic energy store increases. J.
