Mechanisms of human muscle fatigue. Quantitating the contribution of metabolic factors and activation impairment.
Both metabolic factors and impairment of activation appear to play a role in human muscle fatigue. By measuring force, EMG and metabolites during fatiguing exercise and recovery, we are attempting to estimate the contribution of the different factors which produce fatigue.
