hate regenerates ATP levels by breaking down and lending the phosphate, this is enabled by the enzyme creatine kinase. Creatine levels are depleted during intense exercise in an attempt to maintain ATP levels. ( Wilmore, Costill, 1994)
             What is Creatine Monohydrate and what effect does it have on intense exercise?
             Creatine monohydrate is a pharmaceutically produced powder, which alters levels of total creatine available in the skeletal muscles. Many sports today require maximal efforts for short periods of time, often followed by periods of rest. Sports such as wrestling, weight lifting and all types of sprints are examples of exercise where demands on the ATP-PCr energy system would be maximal. During the first ½ a minute of maximal exercise approximately all PCr stores become depleted, this causes performance to rapidly deteriorate, due to the inability to resynthesise ATP at the rate required. Since Creatine Phosphate availability influences the amount of energy produced during brief high intensity exercise, it can be assumed that by increasing the amount of muscle creatine in the body, the ability to resynthesise ATP would also be increased. Due to the important ro
