...Although simple to determine, results obtained in this manner depend also on psychological factors like motivation, associated with task conditions (Enoka, 1995; Enoka and Duchateau, 2008)....

...Even among studies that define fatigue, there is a considerable range of definitions.(41) Attempts to remedy this situation by adding modifiers to the term fatigue are similarly limited by the lack of standards to anchor these terms....

...This activity-induced reduction in force or power is known as muscle fatigue (Gandevia 2001, Enoka & Duchateau 2008, Kent-Braun et al. 2012) or fatigability (Kluger et al. 2013)....

...A functionally relevant approach has been to vary the task requirements and environment of a fatiguing contraction in order to stress different sites (or the same site at a different rate) within the neuromuscular system (Hunter et al. 2004a, Enoka & Duchateau 2008)....

...Despite recent developments in our understanding of the mechanisms of muscle fatigue [e.g. (Gandevia 2001, Enoka & Duchateau 2008, Kent-Braun et al. 2012)], there is still a tremendous lack of knowledge and appreciation of sex-based differences in fatigability and the prevailing mechanisms under…...

...Since the early observations on the differences in the contractile properties of red and white muscle and the classification of motor units based on fatigability (Buller et al. 1960; Edström & Kugelberg, 1968; Burke et al. 1973), the endurance capacity of muscle, at least in experimental animals with electrically evoked contractions, can depend on the proportion of its muscle fibre types (Cairns et al....

...…used to quantify the development of muscle fatigue is to interrupt the fatiguing exercise with brief maximal contractions (voluntary or electrically evoked) to estimate the decline in the maximal force capacity (Merton, 1954; Bigland-Ritchie et al. 1986b; Hunter et al. 2004b; Søgaard et al. 2006)....
