Creatine Phosphate System
The creatine phosphate system fuels maximal efforts under roughly ten seconds by rapidly replenishing ATP during sprints and heavy lifts.
The creatine phosphate (ATP-PC) system fuels maximal efforts under about 10 seconds—sprints, heavy singles, explosive jumps—by rapidly replenishing ATP. It fatigues quickly but recovers fast between bouts.
Training it means brief, near-max work with full rest.
Common questions
