Perturbed afferent feedback leads to altered neuromechanical parameters. We assume that increased central drive is required to maintain force output, resulting in changed muscle fibre activity. Glycolytic fast-switch fibres are only active for a short time due to oxygen deprivation and hyperacidity, but fatigue effects predominate in the long term.
