Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Muscles need energy to produce contractions (Fig. 6). The energy is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) present in muscles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for all muscle contractions. Energy is released when ATP is broken into ADP+Pi (adenosine diphosphate and phosphate group). Maintaining the availability of ATP for muscle contraction is the limiting factor, since ATP is not stored in large amounts in skeletal muscle.
