muscle fatigue
Workout-induced weakness
Muscle fatigue is the decline in a muscle's ability to generate force after prolonged or intense use.
The sensation ranges from mild tiredness to complete inability to continue: My legs gave out from muscle fatigue after the climb.
Recovery requires rest, though conditioning can delay its onset.
Athletes and physical therapists distinguish it from muscle damage or soreness.
