# Muscle Fatigue
"decrease of a muscle's ability to maintain tension/power over time"
no oxygen -> that makes lactic acid
lactic acid is short term
fatigue - can no longer preform level of activity
often oxygen debt
recover period, failure / rest
preform glycolysis, liver breaks down lactic acid into glucose USING ATP
(only works in rest period)
cori cycle
muscles have different fiber types - therefore has different fatigue
* type I - slow oxidative
* type IIa - fast oxidative
* type IIx - fast glycotic
all muscles have all fivers, density is the key differentiators
## Slow oxidative Muscle Fibers (Type I)
* "slow twitch"
* works in oxygen, and moves slowly
* structural characteristics
* small muscle diameter
* more vascularity/high capillary density + high mitochondria density -> aerobic!
* Metabolic characteristics!
* take three times longer to contract ( slowest of all fibers) -> sustained movement (fatigue resistant)
* impulse to move is 3 times slower than others
* contains myoglobin -> stores oxygen (short term)
* function
* first muscle fibers to be recruited (low power)
* run marathons (can be used for hour+)
* anti-gravity + posture muscles
* basically hard to wear out. the marathon muscle
## fast oxidative fibers (type IIa)
* structural characteristics
* humans largest diameter muscle fiber
* highly vascularizaion + high density density of mitochondria -> aerobic!
* high density of muscle glycogen / some myoglobin
* Metabolic characteristics
* **can** utilize **anaerobic respiration**
* glycolysis
* creatine phosphate to ADP = some ATP
* can add some extra fatigue resistance to the muscle
* fast contractility -> moderate fatigue resistance
* function
* 2nd recruitment order -> moderate power
* walking/sprinting (longer than one minute, shorter than 30 minutes)
## Fast Glycolytic (Type IIx)
* Structural Characteristics
* intermediate diameter (humans)
* "white fibers" -> paleish pink
* very little vascularity , mitochondria -> almost no aerobic respiration
* high muscle glycogen / little to no myoglobin
* use as much energy as fast as possible
* metabolic characteristics
* primary anaerobic
* Glycolysis
* Creatine phosphate + ADP = some ATP
* Fastest Contractily -> Lowest fatigue resistance
* makes some ATP quickly -> uses it much faster
* function
* 3rd recruitment order -> highest power
* heavy weight training / burst power (less than 60 sec)
## Changes in density
* genetics + enviornmental stress
* hypertrophy vs atrophy
* changes density of muscles
* endurance exercise (trend to type Ia)
* angiogenesis (increase amount of blood vessles to the muscles)
* increase myoglobin + mitochondria
* resistance exercise (trend to type II's)
* damage leads to increase in mass
* literally split muscle fibers -> repaired bigger
* increase in myofibrils )size and number)
* increase in glysosomes (store glycogen))
* strengthens Connective Tissue, tendons, and bones
basically as you train, the muscles work on making it easier by handling those
muscle memory: going back to state of athletic state, enviornmental stress
