Figure 1. Single-leg squat on a stable surface showing knee alignment over 2nd/3rd toe and minimization of medial knee drop.

Adenine nucleotide concentrations and energy charge ratios were measured in muscle samples collected during transplant surgery of 7 patients suffering from chronic renal failure and undergoing haemodialysis. The energy charge ratio of 0.75 in the muscle of transplant patients was significantly lower (p < 0.01) than that of 0.89 found in muscle from controls. The lower energy charge ratio and increased concentrations of adenosine diphosphate and adenosine monophosphate may contribute to the patients’ reduced exercise ability and their poor metabolic state.
