Introduction:

Muscle contraction process requires energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). There are different sources of ATPs for the muscles. The ATPs stored in muscles are utilized first, followed by creatine phosphate metabolism, glycolytic catabolism, and oxidative catabolism in mitochondria. These different sources of ATP are necessary for different types of muscle actions.
