Muscle Fatigue ...

, Adenosine thriphosphate (ATP) can be remade from
adenosine diphosphate (ADP) by the addition of a
phosphate group- this can occur by three pathways:
1. When enough O2 is present, pyruvate (from the
breakdown of fats, glycogen or glucose) can enter
the citric acid cycle and is broken down to CO2 and
H2O. This is known as aerobic glycolysis and it
generates large amounts of ATP through oxidative
phosphorylation (the electron transport chain).
Psychological causes of 2. If O2 supplies are insufficient, pyruvate cannot
fatigue enter the citric acid cycle and instead gets
converted to lactic acid in a process called
anaerobic glycolysis. This makes small amount of
ATP but does not require O2.
3. In resting muscle, some ATP transfers a phosphate
to creatine obtained through the circulation from
the liver, creating a store of phosphocreatine.
During intense exercise, phosphocreatine can be
used to resynthesize ATP, allowing contraction to
continue.

When ATP production fails to keep pace with ATP
usage, muscles contract less and less effectively.


Excessive accumulation of lactic acid and
associated H+, together with iconic imbalances also
contribute to muscle fatigue. The pH drop

mechanism for ATP production.


Some specialized muscle fibers are more resistant
to fatigue than others. Fore example, muscles may
have more mitochondria and hence a greater
capacity for oxidative metabolism, or they may have
greater stores of phosphocreatine.
