We look at the factors significantly affecting the mechanisms of developing undue fatigue – concurrent conditions, working conditions, individual characteristics of the body (immunity, reactivity of vegetative and endocrine regulation, resistance to psychoemotional stress, adaptive capability, fitness, resistance to a wide range of adverse effects, capacity of mitochondrial oxidation and antioxidant protection systems, provision of energy and plastic substrates, vitamins and microelements, etc.). The development of asthenia significantly increases the fatigue. We demonstrate that the level of fatigue reflects the balance between energy consumption and emergency recovery mainly characterized by the intensity of mitochondrial reactions of ATP synthesis, lactate and ammonia utilization, gluconeogenesis, support of adaptive protein synthesis and stabilization of cytoplasmic and subcellular membranes. These processes determine the directions of pharmacological correction of undue fatigue, the prevention of rapid consumption of functional, regulatory and substrate body reserves during prolonged or intensive activity. | |
