Anaerobic glycolisis energy contribution can be determined through field test for evaluating anaerobic lactic acid contribution during physical effort, but I think there is not yet possible to do the same determination among macroergics compounds? Are there some field test for assessing this in sport / physical training?
You can inhibit creatine kinase with fdnb (fluro-dinitro-benzene) but you will find the muscle goes into rigor pretty quickly!
I've just read the whole question and realise you are talking about field testing, so probably fdnb wouldn't be the best thing to try! I don't know of any way you could assess this in a whole animal/person. NMR studies always show ATP to remain very constant during exercise which suggests that ATP hardly acts as a store at all but is mainly a means of passing high energy P from PCr to myosin, or wherever it is needed.
