Muscle glycogen is the main substrate during high-intensity exercise and large reductions
can occur after relatively short durations. Moreover, muscle glycogen is stored …

Muscle fatigue is an exercise-induced reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force. It may
arise not only because of peripheral changes at the level of the muscle, but also because …

Elite-level athletic training and competition is accompanied by the recovery of a series of
physiological stressors. The physiological stress will vary considerably depending upon the …

El presente libro proporciona una visión integrada de la programación del entrenamiento de
la fuerza y los factores biológicos más importantes de la respuesta orgánica a este tipo de …

Over the past decade, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) derivatives have
been established as physiological modulators of skeletal muscle function. This mini-review …

Failure to maintain the required or expected force, defined as muscle fatigue, is
accompanied by changes in muscle electrical activity. Although studied for a long time …

Intensive activity of muscles causes a decline in performance, known as fatigue, that is
thought to be caused by the effects of metabolic changes on either the contractile machinery …

Non‐technical summary Glucose is stored as glycogen in skeletal muscle. The importance
of glycogen as a fuel during exercise has been recognized since the 1960s; however, little is …

Impaired calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) has been identified as a
contributor to fatigue in isolated skeletal muscle fibers. The functional importance of this …

The aim of this study was to examine maximal voluntary knee-extensor contraction force
(MVC force), sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function and muscle glycogen levels in the days …
