The 1981 C. H. McCloy Research Lecture: Analysis of Local Muscular Fatigue Patterns

Pages 523-539 | Accepted 28 Jul 1981, Published online: 08 Feb 2013
 

Abstract

The classical ergographic experiments conducted by Mosso in the late 1800s were an impetus to widespread study of fatigue patterns as related to learning and educational planning. In no small way, Mosso's work contributed to the development of scientific study of children and pedagogy. Subsequent work by many investigators has continued to seek links between physiological and psychological factors with local muscular fatigue pattern components. In this paper, a discussion of logically deduced versus statistically defined components in fatigue pattern analysis strategies is followed by a concise review of local muscular fatigue patterns as related to (1) level of strength in male and female subjects, (2) recovery and over-recovery patterns, (3) the quick jump in strength phenomenon, (4) psychological factors, and (5) muscle fiber type composition.
