Endurance is
inversely related to intensity
During a sustained contraction at 10 %MVC a decline in maximum force-generating ability is defined as
fatigue
The rate of fatigue during an exercise task
is proportional to the intensity of the task
The rate of fatigue during exercise is proportional to the intensity of exercise becaus
there is a progressive increase in recruitment of faster motor units
The relationship between intensity and endurance can best be described as
inverse and curved
Running endurance
depends on the running task
When a muscle is stimulated to contract continuously and maximally, the decline in force
provides a measure of the fatigability of muscle
Endurance is greater at lower than higher intensities because
the rate of fatigue is less at lower intensities
Under conditions of a sustained isometric contraction sufficiently intense to stop blood from flowing to contracting muscles
the curvature of the relationship between intensity and endurance will reduce
Muscle ischaemia results in an
increased rate of muscle fatigue
