[ATP] The fuel used by muscles. There is a small amount of ATP stored in the muscles. It only lasts a short time before it needs to be replenished. Creatine phosphate can be used to replenish ATP, but is also in very short supply. These two fuels can be replenished by one of two methods ?either aerobic or anaerobic metabolism.
