Article Synopsis
- A study was done to see how long, easy exercises compare to short, hard exercises in making muscles tired.
- The researchers wanted to find out if doing a long, easy exercise would make the muscles tired in a different way than a quick, hard exercise when both made the muscles tired the same amount.
- They found out that even though the long exercise took more time, both exercises caused similar muscle fatigue effects, showing that the way muscles get tired depends on both the intensity and duration of the exercise.
