How long does creatine phosphate provide energy?

Question

1 to 5 seconds
6 to 10 seconds
11 to 15 seconds

Answer 1

Creatine phosphate provides energy for about 1 to 5 seconds during high-intensity activities. It serves as a rapidly available source of energy in the initial stages of exercise, particularly in short bursts of high-intensity efforts. After this period, the body relies on other energy systems, such as anaerobic glycolysis and aerobic metabolism, for continued energy production.
