When human muscle fatigues, athletic performance becomes
impaired. For those individuals suffering muscle or metabolic
diseases the effects of muscle fatigue can make everyday tasks
difficult. Understanding the scientific processes responsible for
skeletal muscle fatigue is therefore central to the study of the
physiology of sport, exercise and health.
Written by a team of leading international exercise scientists,
this book explores the mechanisms of muscle fatigue and presents a
comprehensive survey of current research on this important topic.
Examining the wide variety of protocols, assessment methods and
exercise models used to study muscle fatigue, the book explores the
differential effects of fatigue as influenced by:
- age
- gender
- fitness and training
- the use of ergogenic aids
- medical conditions including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy
and glycogenosis.
Human Muscle Fatigue covers both clinical and applied approaches
in sport and exercise physiology and devotes an entire section to
the conceptual framework underpinning research in this area,
helping readers from a wide range of backgrounds to engage with the
topic. Accessible and detailed, this book is a key text for
students and practitioners working in exercise and sports science,
medicine, physical therapy and health.
