Popis: Three subjects exercised to exhaustion by pedaling a bicycle ergometer at a work load that required an oxygen uptake of 75–80% of their maximal aerobic capacity. Muscle samples were taken from the vastus lateralis with the needle biopsy technique before exercise and immediately after the onset of exhaustion. Muscle glycogen decreased from initial values of 2.57, 1.41, and 3.09 to 0.22, 0.85, and 0.37 g/100 g wet weight respectively for the three subjects during the exercise. The ultrastructure of the fatigued muscle was not dissimilar from that obtained from the muscle at rest. The electron micrographs of fatigued muscle did show an almost complete absence of glycogen particles.
