Exercise induced fatigue: unfit or unwell?
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case report outlines the diagnoses of a rare myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle Syndrome) in a unique way. A set of characteristic values from a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) combined with a typical patient history pointed to a failure of the glycolytic pathway in the skeletal muscle. McArdle Syndrome was confirmed with a skeletal muscle biopsy. There is no evidence of such a diagnostic method in the literature.

Evaluation of neuromuscular symptoms in UK Gulf War veterans: a controlled study.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether Gulf War veterans with neuromuscular symptoms that included weakness and fatigue had either 1) objective correlates for muscle weakness or fatigue; or 2) any etiologic explanation for such symptoms; and if so, 3) whether such objective measures or etiologic mechanisms were specific to Gulf War service. METHODS Forty-nine ill Gulf War veterans with more than fou...

OBJECTIVE To measure strength, aerobic exercise capacity and efficiency, and functional incapacity in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) who do not have a current psychiatric disorder. METHODS Sixty six patients with CFS without a current psychiatric disorder, 30 healthy but sedentary controls, and 15 patients with a current major depressive disorder were recruited into the study. E...
متن کاملHeat Induced Fatigue
HEAT INDUCED FATIGUE Heat production during dynamic exercise can elevate core temperature rapidly. Thus, it believed that hyperthermia during prolonged exercise in hot environments is an independent cause of exercise fatigue. Nonetheless, the mechanisms underlying hyperthermia-induced fatigue during prolonged, dynamic exercise in the heat is not well understood. Typically, heat induced fatigue ...
متن کاملExercise-induced respiratory muscle fatigue: implications for performance.
It is commonly held that the respiratory system has ample capacity relative to the demand for maximal O(2) and CO(2) transport in healthy humans exercising near sea level. However, this situation may not apply during heavy-intensity, sustained exercise where exercise may encroach on the capacity of the respiratory system. Nerve stimulation techniques have provided objective evidence that the di...
متن کاملDeterminants of skin sympathetic nerve responses to isometric exercise.
Exercise-induced increases in skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) are similar between isometric handgrip (IHG) and leg extension (IKE) performed at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). However, the precise effect of exercise intensity and level of fatigue on this relationship is unclear. This study tested the following hypotheses: 1) exercise intensity and fatigue level would not affe...
