An anaerobic energy system in which the generation of ATP is coupled with the exergonic (energy-releasing) breakdown of phosphocreatine stored in muscle cells. The breakdown frees inorganic phosphate, which then combines with ADP to form ATP. The ATP-PCr system is the quickest source of ATP for muscle actions.
