A fatigued muscle has a reduced capacity for energy absorption during the early stages of muscle stretching, as compared to non-fatigued muscle (Mair et al., 1996)Thus, a fatigued muscle will_______ to absorb the same amount of energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fatigued muscle has a reduced capacity for energy absorption during the early stages of muscle stretching, meaning it will not be able to absorb the same amount of energy as a non-fatigued muscle. This leads to the muscle undergoing greater lengthening as it cannot withstand the same level of force. So, choice C is the best answer.

A Fatigued Muscle Has a Reduced Capacity for Energy Absorption
