Study Notes
Muscle Fatigue
- Primary cause of muscle fatigue: accumulation of lactic acid and inorganic phosphates
- Increased acidity: inhibits glycolytic enzymes, reducing energy production
Exercise and Energy Production
- During exercise: glycogen stores are depleted
- Rate of energy production from fat: slower compared to glucose
- Energy from fat: primary source during low-intensity, long-duration activities
Oxygen Debt
- Temporary excess oxygen use after exercise: contributes to excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)
- Resolution of oxygen debt: repayment of oxygen deficit through increased oxygen intake
- Primary cause of oxygen debt: imbalance between oxygen demand and supply during exercise

Description
Test your knowledge on muscle fatigue and its effects on muscle performance with this quiz. Learn about the causes of fatigue, including the build-up of lactic acid, and how it impacts glycolytic enzymes and the actin: myosin cycle. Explore the various factors contributing to a decrease in muscle performance.
