muscle fatigue

Muscle fatigue is the feeling of tiredness and decreased strength in your muscles after prolonged physical activity. It occurs when your muscles use up energy stores and accumulate waste products, like lactic acid, which can cause discomfort. Factors such as dehydration, overexertion, and insufficient rest can contribute to fatigue. While it's a normal response to intense exercise, persistent fatigue may indicate a need for rest or a change in training. Proper hydration, nutrition, and recovery are essential to avoid excessive fatigue and improve overall muscle performance.
