Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During short bursts of intense exercise, muscles will use which of the following for fuel?
A
glucose
B
fat
C
creatine phosphate
D
glycogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Creatine is transported into the muscle cell by a specific transporter, resulting in increased intracellular creatine and PCr. The PCr is capable of acting as an energy buffer, protecting the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration. Maintaining muscle nucleotides therefore enhances exercise performance and recovery.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for all muscle contractions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ATP-CP energy system works by using ATP and creatine phosphate (CP) to give your body fuel. While ATP provides about 2 to 3 seconds of energy, the CP provides 6 to 8 seconds. Together, they can provide enough energy for a quick 10-second sprint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is b. Sprinting in the 100-m race. The presence of ATP-creatine phosphate system tends to provide ATP for performing activities like sprinting and weightlifting.
