MeSH Heading: Muscle Fatigue
Tree Number(s): G11.427.550
Unique ID: D018763
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018763
Annotation: note category
Scope Note: A state arrived at through prolonged and strong contraction of a muscle. Studies in athletes during prolonged submaximal exercise have shown that muscle fatigue increases in almost direct proportion to the rate of muscle glycogen depletion. Muscle fatigue in short-term maximal exercise is associated with oxygen lack and an increased level of blood and muscle lactic acid, and an accompanying increase in hydrogen-ion concentration in the exercised muscle.
Entry Term(s): Fatigue, Muscle; Muscular Fatigue
