Abstract
2043 The development of exercise-induced muscle fatigue is a concomitant entity with physical activity. A vast wealth of knowledge addressing the underlying physiological causes of fatigue is continually being disseminated. The research and clinical communities have not only recognized the importance of muscle fatigue, but have also developed an appreciation for those factors that may manifest changes in this biomechanical and physiological occurrence. The objective of this symposium is to initiate a clinically oriented understanding of relevant applications regarding muscle fatigue. The initial discussion will highlight the diverse terminology in qualifying a definition for muscle fatigue, followed by a brief review of the physiological mechanisms that contribute to this manifestation of exercise. The central theme of this symposium will then be focused around those factors that may cause quantified changes in muscle fatigue, namely limb immobilization, strength training, aging, and neurologic and neuromuscular disorders. Through this initial symposium, it is envisioned that future discussion and activity regarding muscle fatigue will continue to build upon a retrospective and current understanding of clinical importance.
