Discuss the various factors that have been associated with muscle fatigue


Muscle fatigue can be the result of many factors. It may be due to a decrease in energy stores such as ATP, glycogen, or glucose. It can be due to the accumulation of metabolites such as lactate, magnesium, ADP, inorganic phosphate, or reactive oxygen species. It may also be due to factors that reduce neural stimulation from the central nervous system such as arterial hypoxemia; metabolic acidosis, which causes arterial hemoglobin desaturation; and the increased work of breathing, which also causes arterial hemoglobin desaturation.
