Question

Identify the factors, besides Glycogen Depletion, which contributes to the On-Set of Fatigue:
(A). Decreased Blood pH
(B). Lactic Acid Accumulation
(C). Oxygen Depletion
(D). Muscular Tension
(E). Dehydration
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C) and (E) only.
• B. (A), (B), (C) and (D) only.
• C. (B), (C), (D) and (E) only.
• D. (A), (C), (D) and (E) only.

Hint:

To manage fatigue, it is important to maintain proper hydration, ensure adequate oxygen supply, and manage blood pH through proper training and recovery strategies.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Fatigue is a complex phenomenon with multiple contributing factors. While glycogen depletion is a significant factor, others include:

Decreased Blood pH (A): Lactic acid buildup during intense exercise can lower blood pH, leading to acidosis and fatigue.

Lactic Acid Accumulation (B): High levels of lactic acid can interfere with muscle contraction and contribute to fatigue.

Oxygen Depletion (C): Insufficient oxygen supply to muscles can limit energy production and lead to fatigue.

Dehydration (E): Dehydration can reduce blood volume and impair blood flow to muscles, limiting oxygen delivery and waste removal.

Muscular Tension (D): While muscular tension can contribute to fatigue, it is not as direct a factor as the other options.
