Muscle Energy Metabolism: Fueling Peak Performance and Brain Health
Fast Facts: Fueling Your Body ATP is King: Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the direct energy currency for all muscle contractions. Three Energy Systems: Muscles use three main systems to generate ATP: the phosphagen system, anaerobic glycolysis, and aerobic oxidation. Short Bursts, Quick Energy: The phosphagen system provides immediate ATP for ultra-short, explosive movements (e.g., a heavy lift, …
