title: [Mechanisms of muscular fatigue].
abstract: According to Merton (1954), Bigland-Ritchie (1978), Edwards (1981) and De Luca (1984), two groups of mechanisms, central and peripheral, may be distinguished in physiopathology of fatigue process. Central mechanisms are related to subjective phenomena, like fatigue sensation or motivation, and to objective aspects as spatial and temporal motoneurones recruitment.
