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 ...
The insufficiency of energy, i.e. sub-optimal aerobic metabolism, generally results in the accumulation of lactic acid and other acidic anaerobic metabolic by-products in the muscle, causing the stereotypical burning sensation of local muscle fatigue, though recent studies have indicated otherwise, actually finding that lactic acid is a source ...
This meaning implies that the primary defect is within the muscle, as opposed to the nerves ("neuropathies" or "neurogenic" disorders) or elsewhere (e.g., the brain). This muscular defect typically results in myalgia (muscle pain), muscle weakness (reduced muscle force), or premature muscle fatigue (initially normal, but declining muscle force).
The muscle weakness that worsens with activity (abnormal muscle fatigue) in myasthenia gravis [66] is a symptom shared by other neuromuscular diseases. Most of the metabolic myopathies , such as McArdle disease (GSD-V), have abnormal muscle fatigue rather than fixed muscle weakness.
A complex of Coenzyme Q10: One of the metabolic myopathies, Coenzyme Q10 deficiency includes the symptom of exertional fatigue. [25] Skeletal muscle respiratory chain defect (electron transport chain [ETC]): A type of metabolic myopathy, this can result in severe exercise intolerance which is manifested by the following symptoms of skeletal ...
Abnormal muscle fatigue (premature fatigue and/or inability to get into second wind), muscle pain (myalgia), cramping or muscle stiffness during and/or after exercise, [citation needed] Shortness of breath ( dyspnea ), or rapid breathing ( tachypnea ), or heavy breathing ( hyperpnea ), or both (exercise hyperventilation ) [ citation needed ]
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).

Like the nervous system proposal increased muscle contractions eventually evoke muscle fiber fatigue, weakness, and finally degradation, which are characteristic symptoms of TM. There is evidence to support both theories; it has been suggested that toxic levels of thyroxine may ultimately attack muscle fibers directly and indirectly by the ...
