ABSTRACT
Fatigability in adults has been studied thoroughly. However, this phenomenon in children lacks extensive investigation. Comparisons between adults and children were performed during maximal efforts (Paraschos et al., 2007; Ratel et al., 2006). These studies showed that adults were more fatigued than children. This was attributed mainly to metabolic factors. However, there is no information to our knowledge concerning the fatigue topography differences between children and adults duringmaximal sustained contraction. Specifically, we do not know towhat extent the neuronal and muscular factors contribute to fatigue in children and adults.
