Recommended: Factors that contribute to muscle fatigue

After a day’s work, we all get tired. Similarly, we get tired after running, swimming or doing exercise. Why we get tired after doing some work? Do you know? When we do some work at with fast, our muscles do not get as much o2 (oxygen) as they need. In such a situation to provide extra energy to the body, the glycogen stored in our muscles is transformed into lactic acid through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid reduces the working capacity of the muscles. This state of the body is known as muscle fatigue. In our muscles, Lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) acts as a poison. If we can expel the lactic acid from the muscles by some process, they can again become fit for working. As a result of the muscular action, some other substances

    The data collected during this experiment has shown that a relationship likely exists between the rate of muscle fatigue and the time spent performing vigorous exercise prior to the set of repetitive movements. This is likely due to a build-up of lactic acid and lactate as a result of anaerobic respiration occurring to provide energy for the muscle cell’s movement. As the pH of the cell would have been lowered, the enzymes necessary in the reactions would likely not be working in their optimum pH range, slowing the respiration reactions and providing an explanation to why the average number of repetitions decreased as the prior amount of exercise increased.

    While DOMS does have a negative effect on strength performance, the factors that are associated with DOMS are also potentially important in stimulating muscle hypertrophy. Researchers believe thought that DOMS most likely reflects the body’s response to maximize the training response. Due to the wear and tear on the muscle fibers during exercise, muscle damage happens to be the causing factor for muscle hypertrophy. After exercise, the damage and repair process involves calcium, lysosomes, connective tissue, free radicals, energy sources, and the inflammatory response. Healing process steps that go along with DOMS are important steps in muscle hypertrophy (Kenney et al.,

  • Peripheral Fatigue Paper

    518 Words  | 2 Pages

    Muscle fatigue is a decline in ability of a muscle to generate force within any part of the body. Muscular fatigue is a particular response when it comes to an untrained athlete that is starting an intense workout program, and the muscles of the body is not able to respond in an orderly manner as it would respond to an elite athlete. This paper will focus and provide general information about recent studies on peripheral fatigue. Peripheral fatigue is one of the sites for possible fatigue and its where neural, mechanical, or energetic events can hamper tension development. Neural fatigue is a factor of peripheral fatigue, which occurs when the nerves are unable to generate a signal and this reduces the ability of the muscle fiber to contract which is considered to be metabolic fatigue. Neural factors deals with the movement of action potential going through a process to produce a muscle contraction and when this process does not go through the proper steps then fatigue set in because the muscles will not be able to contract. Neural fatigue has two main factors which is, a shortage of...

  • Blood Doping

    847 Words  | 2 Pages

    For purpose of emphasis and understanding, some background information is needed to fully understand exactly what blood doping can do for an individual. In order for muscles to perform, they need a ready supply of oxygen. During high intensity exercise, oxygen is depleted and the body can not get enough oxygen to the muscle in order for them to perform their optimal potential. This lack of ability to get oxygen to the muscle is called oxygen debt and results in lactic acid being formed. Lactic acid is a waste product of anaerobic cellular respiration within the muscle tissue, which can cause muscle sourness that, usually, is felt after a hard or long workout. Fatigue usually sets in with the onset of lactic acid production. Oxygen is carried to the muscle by two delivery systems. Three percent of oxygen is carried in plasma and ninety-seven percent is in hemoglobin, the principal protein in erythrocytes (red blood cells). If hemoglobin amounts are increased, this will lead to increased oxygen levels that can be transported to the muscles. Allowing the muscles to become more fatigue resistant.

  • The Glycemic Index: Nutrition And Exercise

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    Glycemic index is the measure of how quickly blood glucose rise after eating a particular kind of food. This is used by estimating the how much each gram of carbohydrate consumed raises a person’s glucose level. During intense exercise, the body uses glucose as energy source before it starts relying of fats. “Prolonged exercise can only be continued when there is an adequate amount of carbohydrate available to fuel muscle and the brain”(William,2004). This shows that the amount of carbohydrate/glucose that is found within the body’s tissue has a significant amount of influence to play on how effective the early hours of an exercise would be. Glycemic index helps one to know how effective the carbohydrate/glucose within the body is functioning during exercise.

  • Aerobic Respiration

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    Cellular respiration is an important function for the body to obtain energy (Citovsky, Lecture 18). There are two types of cellular respiration; aerobic conditions and anaerobic conditions. Aerobic conditions are the cellular respiration occurred with oxygen while anaerobic conditions are cellular respiration occurred without oxygen. The most common cellular respiration is aerobic conditions where oxygen were supplied for phosphorylation (Campbell et al., pg 177). In human body, anaerobic conditions occurred when muscle cells are overworked and oxygen is depleted before it could be replenished (Citovsky, Lecture 19). This is a common phenomenon during exercise. The accumulation and production of lactic acid from anaerobic cellular respiration has been always a cause of muscle sore from intense exercise (Campbell et al., pg. 179).

  • Experiment to Determine How Heart Rate is Affected by Exercise

    1074 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many people know when you exercise for long periods of time; your breathing becomes more shallow and quick. The main human organ system used when exercising is the respiratory system. There are two types of respiration your body can carry out, aerobic, with oxygen, and anaerobic, without. The reason for getting tired from exercise is because when the body runs out of the oxygen it needs, anaerobic respiration takes its place. This respiration has no oxygen which means the body releases less energy and produces lactic acid. Lactic acid is a poisonous waste product that stops muscles contracting and relaxing. In this investigation, I will be finding out whether exercise that has two different types of respiration has a strong affect on the heart and its’ cardiac cycle.

  • The Role Of Lactic Acid In Swimming

    734 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lactic acid is a key component of swimming, and many other types of exercise. It’s what allows the muscles to have energy despite a lack of oxygen. Lactic acid is produced in strenuous situations by the body, with glucose and enzymes. In essence, why someone can swim races like 50s, 100s, and 200s, where a swimmer worries less about the oxygen they can take in and more about the speed at which they can move their arms. But it does hinder our bodies after the race. The lactate can easily build up, and the production of it can cause pain and fatigue in the muscles.

  • The Effects of Overtraining

    In order to fully understand the impact and effect of overtraining, defining and establishing the difference of what overtraining is from other conditions, such as overreaching, is necessary. Overtraining is defined as the accumulation of both training and non-training stresses producing a long-term effect on the athlete’s performance capacity, with or without physical and psychological overtraining signs and symptoms in which recovery of the performance capacity will take weeks to months (Halson, 2004 p. 969). Overreaching, however, is defined by the accumulation of training and non-training stresses with a short-term effect on the a...
