Strong Support
In healthy adult muscles, a molecule called phosphocreatine doesn't move freely — it's kind of boxed in by cell walls, and the size of those boxes matches the size of the muscle fibers themselves.

High-energy phosphate transfer in human muscle: diffusion of phosphocreatine.
Cross-Sectional Study
Human
2011 JulThe study measured how far a key energy molecule moves in human muscle and found it travels about 28 micrometers before being blocked, which matches the width of the muscle fiber, suggesting the outer wall of the fiber limits its movement.
