CONCLUSIONS
It is apparent that further research will be necessary
to elucidate the mechanism causing the fatigue observed
in the experiments reported herein. This research,
however, has eliminated several proposed mechanisms of
fatigue. A few hypotheses are presented which may
contribute to the fatigue observed in these experiments.
Each of these hypotheses is based on a central theme,
a reduced activation of the contractile proteins. It
remains to be seen which of these mechanisms (if any) is
the actual cause of the twitch fatigue observed in these
experiments.
