ATP, creatine, energetics and sprint sports

Question 1

Creatine phosphate

Answer 1

A high energy command which can drive the synthesis of ATP molecule

Question 2

The Wingate test

Answer 2

Tests power output and fatigue
Peak- can’t keep the going unless period of recovery
Assumption that people aren’t pacing themselves
Power output quickly declines- same effort but power still declines
Energy output failing
Creatine phosphate depleted before the end of the 30 seconds
Muscle has to use other energy systems which work slower so slower legs
