This guide explores the biology of muscle fatigue during physical activity. Muscle fatigue arises from repeated contractions leading to depletion of oxygen and accumulation of lactic acid. During intensive exercise, respiration rates increase, enhancing oxygen delivery to muscles. Recovery time varies between trained athletes and untrained individuals, as fitness levels influence lung capacity and blood circulation. Understanding these physiological processes can enhance training and recovery strategies for optimized performance.
