1H-MRS evaluation of the Phosphocreatine-Creatine (PCr/Cr) pool in human muscle

Phosphocreatine (PCr) has been shown to effectively buffer ATP levels at high work rates in skeletal muscles. Our main goal was to assess whether or not the pool of PCr and Cr (Crtot) is the same in different metabolic states. Twelve healthy power trained (PWR) athletes (V02max 48 ± 1.9 ml/kg/min...
