The ATP-PCr (Adenosine triphosphate-Phosphocreatine) system.
The chemical changes during muscular contractions include conversion of ATP into ADP, break-down of phosphocreatine and muscle glycogen, formation of Fructose diphosphate and lactic acid and resynthesis of creatine phosphate.
Phosphocreatine
ATP ---> ADP + Pi + Energy it's a coupled reaction THIS ANSWER IS WRONG - IT IS BACKWARDS! IF YOU MAKE THE ARROW GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, IT WOULD BE CORRECT.
1 ATP is used to begin.Also another ATP is used in glycolisis.
adenosine triphosphate phosphocreatine system
ATP/PC system (Phosphocreatine system) are predominantly used in strength activities such as a weight-lifter or a tennis serve.
ATP-PC system Adenosine triphosphate.- phosphocreatine phosphocreatine is broken down into phosphate and creatine molecules. as with any bonds that are broken energy is released. The phosphate molecule bonds to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) which produced an ATP molecule. This ATP molecule is used within cells to make energy.

The Phosphogen SystemSkeletal muscle uses large amounts of ATP during active contraction. Skeletal muscle can produce limited amounts of ATP from the breakdown of stored phosphocreatine. As ATP is used and ATP levels decrease, phosphocreatine is used to make ATP from ADP. When the cell is resting and ATP levels increase due to aerobic glucose catabolism, phosphocreatine is produced from ATP and creatine. This mechanism can produce 1 ATP for every molecule of phosphocreatine present. Muscle cells normally have enough phosphocreatine to produce ATP for several minutes at rest but only 10-15 seconds during exercise.

PC is an abbreviation for phosphocreatine. PC, like ATP, is stored in the muscle cells, and when it is broken down, a large amount of energy is released. The energy released is coupled to the energy requirement necessary for the resynthesis of ATP.The total muscular stores of both ATP and PC are very small. Thus, the amount of energy obtainable through this system is limited. In fact, if you were to run 100 meters as fast as you could, the phosphagen stores in the working muscles would probably be empty by the end of the sprint. However, the usefulness of the ATP-PC system lies in the rapid availability of energy rather than quantity. This is extremely important with respect to the kinds of physical activities that we are capable of performing
fats are used for the resynthesis of ATP, when ATP is broken down, it releases energy. So fats are a fuel for the body.
