The hypothesis requires that ATP is depleted to levels that limit cross bridge detatchment and this has to be proven. I don’t think ATP is a limiting factor in a muscle contraction, accumulation of inorganic phosphate is probably more important.

Paul, how can you be sure that concentric failure caused by ATP depletion?
I think failure is more neurological then chemistry
