Energy considerations during exercise.
Maintenance of muscular contraction during exercise requires large amounts of chemical energy. Although various sources of energy are available, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the universal intracellular vehicle of chemical energy within skeletal muscle. This article will focus on the various mechanisms of the production and breakdown of ATP.
