Subject: Re: Creatine
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.
