  2. Muscle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_fatigue

    Muscle fatigue is not the same as muscle weakness, though weakness is an initial symptom. Despite a normal amount of force being generated at the start of activity, once muscle fatigue has set in and progressively worsens, if the individual persists in the exercise they will eventually lose their hand grip, or become unable to lift or push with ...

  3. PFD allowance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PFD_allowance

    The fatigue allowance is intended to cover the time that the worker should be given to overcome fatigue due to work related stress and conditions. There are three factors that cause fatigue: (1) physical factors like standing and use of force, (2) mental and cognitive factors like mental strain and eye strain , and (3) environmental and work ...

  4. Delayed onset muscle soreness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness

    Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 ...

  5. Cramp fasciculation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp_fasciculation_syndrome

    Cramp fasciculation syndrome (CFS) is a rare [1] peripheral nerve hyperexcitability disorder. It is more severe than the related (and common) disorder known as benign fasciculation syndrome; it causes fasciculations, cramps, pain, fatigue, and muscle stiffness similar to those seen in neuromyotonia (another related condition).

  6. Training to failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_to_failure

    When the athlete has reached initial failure (i.e. fails to perform a further repetition), rather than ending the current set, the exercise can be continued by making the exercise easier (switching to another similar exercise e.g. pull-ups to chin-ups, switching to another (correct) form of the same exercise, switching to lower weight) or by recruiting help (from a spotting partner or by ...

  7. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

    Muscle strength is a result of three overlapping factors: physiological strength (muscle size, cross sectional area, available crossbridging, responses to training), neurological strength (how strong or weak is the signal that tells the muscle to contract), and mechanical strength (muscle's force angle on the lever, moment arm length, joint ...

  8. Weakness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakness

    Weakness is a symptom of many different medical conditions. [1] The causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy.

  9. Central nervous system fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Nervous_System_Fatigue

    Central nervous system fatigue, or central fatigue, is a form of fatigue that is associated with changes in the synaptic concentration of neurotransmitters within the central nervous system (CNS; including the brain and spinal cord) which affects exercise performance and muscle function and cannot be explained by peripheral factors that affect muscle function.
