Project description
This project aims to determine whether causal acidosis is associated with the occurrence of fatigue during intense muscle contractions. It considers whether an elevated intramyocellulaire buffering and consequently a reduced fatigue can be triggered by a nutritional obtained carnosine accumulation in skeletal muscle.
