Muscle Fatigue

As human muscles fatigue athletic performance weakens. Muscle fatigue can also make everyday tasks difficult. Causes of muscle fatigue can be influenced by age, gender, or the intensity of your fitness and training. If you exercise at a high intensity your muscles will eventually become tired and fail to contract when stimuli from the nervous system reach it. Athletes can benefit from using compression garments, like those shown here, to provide warmth, encourage circulation, and reduce muscle fatigue and vibration to help muscles perform more effectively.
