Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creatine is a dietary supplement that increases the availability of phosphocreatine in the muscle, which in turn contributes to greater ATP availability during the first few seconds of skeletal muscle contraction. Fatty acids, sports drinks with electrolytes, sugar, and protein do not directly contribute to ATP availability during short-term contractions.
