Descriptor English: Muscle Fatigue
Descriptor Spanish: Fatiga Muscular
Descriptor fatiga muscular
Scope note: Estado al que se llega por medio de una contracción prolongada y fuerte de un músculo. Los estudios realizados con atletas durante el esfuerzo submáximo prolongado han demostrado que la fatiga muscular aumenta casi en proporción directa a la velocidad de disminución de glucógeno en el músculo. La fatiga muscular en el esfuerzo máximo a corto plazo se asocia con falta de oxígeno y con un aumento de ácido láctico en la sangre y en el músculo, con un aumento acompañante de la concentración de iones hidrógeno en el músculo ejercitado.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018763
Scope note: A state arrived at through prolonged and strong contraction of a muscle. Studies in athletes during prolonged submaximal exercise have shown that muscle fatigue increases in almost direct proportion to the rate of muscle glycogen depletion. Muscle fatigue in short-term maximal exercise is associated with oxygen lack and an increased level of blood and muscle lactic acid, and an accompanying increase in hydrogen-ion concentration in the exercised muscle.
