What happens to ATP, PhCreatine, and lactic acid with muscle fatigue
Added by Doris B.
Step 1
As muscles work harder and longer, the ATP stores are rapidly depleted. This depletion leads to a decrease in the ability of the muscle to contract efficiently, contributing to muscle fatigue. Show more…

What happens when a muscle is fatigued?
James K.
Consider the causes of muscle fatigue. Then click and drag each label into the appropriate category based on whether it is a cause of fatigue from predominantly high-intensity short duration exercise, low-intensity long duration exercise, or neither. Decrease in sarcoplasm pH. Electrolyte loss. Decrease in hydrolysis of ATP due to accumulation of ADP and phosphate. Increased oxygen levels in the sarcoplasm. ATP depletion. Lactic acid inhibition of cross-bridge formation. Hypoglycemia. Decrease in potassium ion concentration in the sarcoplasm. Decrease in stored glucose. Decrease in nerve impulses from the CNS. High-Intensity Low Duration. Low-Intensity High Duration. Neither.
