Muscle fatigue has been defined as a temporary loss in force or torque-generating ability due to recent muscle contraction. 1 The mechanisms underlying muscle fatigue are numerous and may have their origins anywhere from the central nervous system (CNS) to cellular-level cross-bridge cycling. 2, 3 The major proposed mechanisms of fatigue production are:(1) inadequate excitation of motoneurons,(2) poor action potential transmission along axonal branch points,(3) failure of the action potential to invade the synaptic bouton or failure to trigger transmitter release at the myoneural junction,(4) failure of the post-junctional membrane to be depolarized adequately,(5) failure of the action potential to propagate the full length of the sarcolemma or the action potential has too low of an amplitude,(6) failure of the action potential to invade the T-tubule system and sarcoplasmic reticulum system or failure of the action potential to trigger calcium release,(7) contractile system of the muscle, and (8) mitochondria, signifying metabolic events that sustain contraction. 2Until recently, muscle fatigue was thought to be caused by lactic acid accumulation or a lowered pH within the muscle due to a rising hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) during anaerobic metabolism. 4–6 Recent literature, however, has shown that at the cross-bridge level,[H+] may not be a major causative factor of muscle fatigue. 7–18 Inorganic phosphate accumulation, on the other hand, has been implicated as a significant cause of muscle fatigue, presumably in its role at the cross-bridge level. 7, 19–21
