Fatigue alters force development differently by fiber type in mice; leaves open translation to human performance or mechanisms.
Fatigue induces a small decrease in the rate of force development in slow-twitch soleus muscles, but a significant increase in fast-twitch EDL muscles in mice.
C. J. Barclay (1992) studied this question.
