Summary Introduction

To review:

The three ways in which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) could be generated.

Introduction:

In order to produce contractions, the muscles require energy in the form of ATP molecule. Muscle cells are known to contain only a small quantity of ATP, so once consumed these ATP are again needed to be synthesized. The major source of ATP production is the creatine phosphate and glycogen found in the muscles.
