Simulated time courses of system variables during transition from rest to moderate muscle work (relative ATP usage activity A<sub>UT</sub> = 35) to recovery for the saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub> (ESA, each-step activation intensity)-A<sub>UT</sub> (relative ATP usage activity) dependence.
<p>A, dependence of , ADP and pH; B, dependence of PCr, P<sub>i</sub> and ATP; C, dependence of ATP usage (vUT) as well as of ATP supply by OXPHOS (+ aerobic glycolysis) (vOX), creatine kinase (vCK) and anaerobic glycolysis (vGL). The saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub>-A<sub>UT</sub> dependence without additional ATP usage is postulated to be present in voluntary exercise below critical ATP usage activity (critical power).</p
Dependence of proton leak intensity (vLK) on protonmotive force (Δp).
<p>State 4, state 3, rest, moderate work and heavy/severe work in skeletal muscle are indicated. vLK in all states is scaled for intact skeletal muscle. Simulations were made using the model version for intact skeletal muscle, as described in the text.</p

Simulated phenomenological steady-state V’O<sub>2</sub>-ADP relationship in different states.
<p>These states comprise: state 4<sub>id</sub>, intermediate state, state 3 <sub>id</sub>, rest, moderate work and intensive work in isolated mitochondria and intact skeletal muscle. Inset: enlarged fragment around state 4 and rest. The presented phenomenological V’O<sub>2</sub>-ADP relationship involves implicitly the V’O<sub>2</sub>-P<sub>i</sub> relationship. V’O<sub>2</sub> in isolated mitochondria is scaled for mitochondria in skeletal muscle in order to make a direct comparison.</p
Simulated (lines) and experimental (points) dependence of system variables on relative ATP usage activity A<sub>UT</sub> for the saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub> (ESA, each-step activation intensity)-A<sub>UT</sub> dependence in the presence of the ‘additional’ ATP usage above the critical ATP usage activity.
<p>A, dependence of , ADP and pH; B, dependence of PCr, P<sub>i</sub> and ATP. Re-scaled (see sub-section 2.5) experimental data for medial gastrocnemius from [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0195620#pone.0195620.ref014" target="_blank">14</a>] are presented. The saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub>-A<sub>UT</sub> dependence with additional ATP usage is postulated to be present in voluntary exercise above critical ATP usage activity (critical power).</p
Experimental -power output dependence.
<p>Experimental dependence of (oxygen consumption at the end of subsequent steps) on the power output (PO) in subsequent steps in step-incremental exercise (increase in PO by 60 W after each 6 or 8 min in two overlapping protocols ‘shifted in phase’ by 30 W, with a baseline of 20 W and 50 W) extracted from Table 1 in [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0195620#pone.0195620.ref019" target="_blank">19</a>] is presented.</p
Power-type vs. saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub> (ESA, each-step activation intensity)-A<sub>UT</sub> (relative ATP usage activity) dependence.
<p>Simulated power-type and saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub>-A<sub>UT</sub> dependences (lines) are compared with the values of A<sub>OX</sub> and A<sub>UT</sub> extracted from experimental data for rest, moderate exercise and severe exercise (points) [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0195620#pone.0195620.ref001" target="_blank">1</a>]. The power-type dependence, described by <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0195620#pone.0195620.e009" target="_blank">Eq 1</a>, is postulated to be present in electrically-stimulated muscle, while the saturating-type dependence, described by <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0195620#pone.0195620.e010" target="_blank">Eq 2</a>, is postulated to be present during voluntary exercise (cortically-stimulated muscle).</p
Simulated dependence of system variables on relative ATP usage activity A<sub>UT</sub> for the saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub> (ESA, each-step activation intensity)-A<sub>UT</sub> dependence in the absence of the ‘additional’ ATP usage.
<p>A, dependence of , ADP and pH; B, dependence of PCr, P<sub>i</sub> and ATP. The saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub>-A<sub>UT</sub> dependence without additional ATP usage is postulated to be present in voluntary exercise (cortically-stimulated muscle) below critical ATP usage activity (critical power).</p
Dependence of total oxygen consumption (), related to proton leak, related to ATP synthesis, Δp, NADH (% of total NAD) and phenomenological ATP/O<sub>2</sub> ratio on relative activity of ATP usage (relative rate constant, k<sub>UT</sub>, or its activation in relation to rest, A<sub>UT</sub>) in skeletal muscle for proton leak activity (rate constant) elevated twice in relation to the ‘standard’ value.
<p>Dependence of total oxygen consumption (), related to proton leak, related to ATP synthesis, Δp, NADH (% of total NAD) and phenomenological ATP/O<sub>2</sub> ratio on relative activity of ATP usage (relative rate constant, k<sub>UT</sub>, or its activation in relation to rest, A<sub>UT</sub>) in skeletal muscle for proton leak activity (rate constant) elevated twice in relation to the ‘standard’ value.</p
Simulated relationship of the characteristic transition time Ï„<sub>p</sub> of the principal phase of the muscle on-kinetics on relative ATP usage activity (A<sub>UT</sub>) for the power-type and saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub> (ESA, each-step activation intensity)-A<sub>UT</sub> dependencies.
<p>The relative activation of OXPHOS during rest-to-work transition A<sub>OX</sub> was increased as a function of A<sub>UT</sub> according to <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0195620#pone.0195620.e009" target="_blank">Eq 1</a> for power-type dependence and to <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0195620#pone.0195620.e010" target="_blank">Eq 2</a> for saturating-type dependence. The power-type A<sub>OX</sub>-A<sub>UT</sub> dependence without ‘additional’ ATP usage is postulated to be present in electrically-stimulated muscle, while the saturating-type A<sub>OX</sub>-A<sub>UT</sub> dependence with ‘additional’ ATP usage is postulated to be present in voluntary exercise (cortically-stimulated muscle).</p
