Skeletal Muscle Fatigue

Full Article on Wiley Online Library



Abstract

Skeletal muscle fatigue is defined as the fall of force or power in response to contractile activity. Both the mechanisms of fatigue and the modes used to elicit it vary tremendously. Conceptual and technological advances allow the examination of fatigue from the level of the single molecule to the intact organism. Evaluation of muscle fatigue in a wide range of disease states builds on our understanding of basic function by revealing the sources of dysfunction in response to disease. © 2012 American Physiological Society.

Application of 10 mM caffeine in control (A) and during 2 successive fatigue runs (B and C). Bars below tension records in top panels indicate caffeine exposure during fatiguing stimulation; caffeine was applied after 22 fatiguing tetani (B) and when tetanic tension was depressed to 0.36 P0 by 187 tetani (C). Fluorescence ratio and tension records from tetani elicited before application of caffeine (a) and in presence of caffeine (b) are shown in middle and bottom panels. Dashed lines represent resting ratio in control prefatigued fiber; stimulation periods are displayed below tension records. Note that tetanic ratio increase induced by caffeine in late fatigue was accompanied by a substantially enhanced tension production, whereas tension was not markedly affected by increased ratios in the other two states.

(A) Electron micrograph (EM) showing a myofilament from a rat flexor digitorum brevis muscle fiber. The arrows show the position of the triads (T‐tubule plus the sarcoplasmic reticulum terminal cisternae) at the A‐I junctions providing two triad junctions for each sarcomere. (B) A schematic representation of E‐C coupling showing a representative sarcolemma action potential (AP) at rest (no. 1) and following fatigue (no. 2) with resting potentials of –80 and –70 mv, and action potential amplitudes of 84 and 73 mv, respectively. It is unknown how fatigue affects the AP in the depths of the T‐tubule. The displayed AP record (no. 3) showing a resting potential of –60 mv and action potential amplitude of 58 mv (i.e., spike potential reaching –2 mv) represents hypothesized rather than real values for a T‐tubular AP. The SR Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor) is shown as no. 4, while nos. 5 and 6 represent the sarcolemma Na+‐K+ pump and the SR ATPase pump, respectively. The question mark (?) indicates that the composition of the extracellular fluid in the depths of the T‐tubule in a fatigued muscle is currently unknown. The white line to the left of each AP represents the zero overshoot potentials.

Sites of stimulation for assessing neuromuscular function. (1) Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied to the motor cortex, and is optimized to activate the muscle of interest. The muscular response to that stimulation is known as the motor‐evoked potential (MEP). TMS is used to assess cortical excitability and inhibition. (2) Electrical stimulation is applied in the cervicomedullary region to activate the corticospinal tract at a subcortical level. The muscular response is known as the cervicomedullary motor‐evoked potential (CMEP). Comparisons between the MEP and CMEP allow for the localization of changes in excitability to a cortical or subcortical level. (3) Low‐intensity electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve preferentially activates the Ia sensory fibers, which synapse with the α‐motoneuron. The muscular response is known as the Hoffmann reflex (H‐reflex), and is used to assess spinal excitability and inhibition. (4) Higher‐intensity stimulation of the peripheral nerve directly activates the α‐motoneuron, evoking a motor response (m‐wave) from the muscle. The m‐wave is used to assess peripheral excitability of the muscle membrane and transmission at the neuromuscular junction. All evoked responses are recorded via EMG electrodes placed on the muscle.

Figure 8. Figure 8.

Changes in motor‐evoked potential (MEP) and cervicomedullary motor‐evoked potential (CMEP) for an individual subject, during a sustained 2‐min maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the elbow flexors. MEP (left) and CMEP (right) responses were recorede at baseline (control), throughout the 2‐min sustained MVC (exercise) and during recovery from the biceps brachii. For this individual, the MEP and CMEP responses were both abolished approximately 30 s into the 2‐min maximal contraction, and both recovered to baseline values following the contraction. The similar changes in the MEP and CMEP suggest that the observed inhibition during the fatiguing contraction was primarily due to spinal mechanisms.

(B) The rate of force relaxtion, expressed as the half‐time of force decay, increased over the 20 stimulated contractions, indicating slowed contractile characteristics of the muscle.

Effect of modified sensory feedback on electromyography and power output during a 5‐km cycling time trial. Trained cylists performed a 5‐km time trial on three separate occasions: (1) placebo condition, with interspineous ligament injection of saline (5KPlac); (2) fentanyl condition, with intrathecal fentanyl injection, to block sensory feedback from the muscles (5Kfent); and (3) control condition, with no injection (5KCtrl). (A) Group mean integrated electromyography (iEMG) of vastus lateralis during the three conditions, normalized to the iEMG obtained from preexercise MVC manoeuvres on each occasion. The iEMG was not different across the three conditions at baseline, but was significantly higher during the first 2.5 km of the time trial in the 5Kfen condition, with no difference in the second 2.5 km. (B) Group mean power output was significantly higher in the 5Kfen condition over the first 2.5 km, and was significantly lower over the last 2.5 km. This “overshoot” of electromyographic activity and power output during the first 2.5 km of the time trial led to greater fatigue in the 5Kfen condition.

(B) The mean (± SE) endurance time for a sustained contraction at 20% MVC longer at 35° than at 75°. (C) The mean (± SE) voluntary activation was reduced following the fatiguing contraction at both 35° and 75°, with no difference in the degree of reduction between the two joint angles.

(B) Endurance times for men (closed symbols) and women (open symbols) across three contraction intensities (20%, 35%, and 60% MVC) was exponentially related to the absolute target force level, suggesting a relationship between target force level and muscle fatigue.

Sex differences were abolished by ischemia during and following intermittent MVCs. (A) Voluntary fatigue (MVIC force, % initial) and (B) central activation ratio (CAR) for men and women in free‐flow (FF, solid symbols) and ischemic (I, open symbols) conditions. Values are means ± SE. Hatched bar indicates contraction period. For all four experimental groups, force was lower than baseline from the first minute of fatigue until the end of fatigue. After 2 min of recovery, MVIC force was still reduced for all groups, except for the women in the FF condition. At end of the I protocol, CAR was reduced relative to baseline in both men and women. During the FF protocol, only the men exhibited a reduction in CAR. In all groups, CAR was fully recovered after 10 min. For a given time point, s = effect of sex, c = effect of condition, sc = sex X condition interaction. *Difference between men and women in the FF but not I condition.

Power is averaged over blocks of five contractions and is expressed relative to the average power of the first five contractions. Mean isotonic power declined in all age groups, but very old men had a significantly greater loss than young men.

Figure 23.

Fatigue in persons with multiple sclerosis. Changes in isometric force parameters during a series of fatiguing contractions. Force (A), maximal rate of force rise (B), and half‐relaxation time (C) are expressed as percentages of prefatigue values (= 100%). Mean data ± SEM are shown for every fifth contraction for magnetic stimulation (MS) patients (open circles; n = 13) and control subjects (closed squares; n = 15).

Figure 24.

Interactions between peripheral metabolic changes and cardiovascular function during fatigue in control and multiple sclerosis groups. Changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during sustained isometric dorsiflexion exercise (left). Change in MAP from baseline (A, left) was less in MS versus control throughout exercise. Change in HR from baseline (B, left) and RPE (C, left) were similar in MS and control subjects. Changes in Pi and intracellular pH, expressed as a percentage of endurance time for both groups (right). Note the smaller metabolic perturbation in the MS group, which suggested an appropriate response in MAP.

EXPANDED BIBLIOGRAPHY:  SKELETAL MUSCLE FATIGUE

(relevant publications, 1995- March, 2010)

 

This review encompasses the body of literature available through the PubMed database, with major focus on studies published after 1995.  Our initial search using keywords “skeletal”, “muscle”, and “fatigue” yielded 3,045 peer-reviewed publications.  This list was reviewed and narrowed to those papers that focused on the topic of muscle fatigue as discussed here.  Clearly, the scope of work covered in the literature exceeds the capacity of this review.  However, because we anticipate that many of these studies will be of interest to the reader, an expanded bibliography is provided here.  Of these 928 papers, 183 were reviews; these are listed separately, at the beginning of this expanded bibliography. 

Exclusions:  The following topics are beyond the scope of this work, but are recommended as further avenues of investigation.  Studies of back and shoulder fatigue, case studies, pilot studies, ergonomics, mathematical modeling of fatigue, athletic performance, effects of muscle fatigue on other factors (e.g., postural control), fatigue and functional electrical stimulation (FES), studies of pelvic floor fatigue, studies of muscle damage, techniques and models for the study of fatigue, studies that do not include a measure of muscle force, power or velocity as the index of fatigue or endurance.
