fatigue and recovery

• fatigue

  • fuel depletion
  • accumulation of metabolic byproducts
  • thermoregulation
• Fuel depletion

  • PC depletion
  • What?
  • Depletion of PC stores
  • Why?
  • Forces an increased reliance on the anaerobic glycolysis system which produces ATP at a slower rate
  • How?
  • Results in a reduction in the force and rate of muscular contractions
  • Glycogen depletion
  • What?
  • Finite stores so while exercising, depletion of glycogen stores
  • How?
  • Forces an increased reliance on the fats via the aerobic system (slower rate of Atp production)
  • Why?
  • Results in a reduction in the force and rate of muscular contractions
