The article by Sinacore et al shows that peak torque, percentage of decline in peak torque at the end of a fatigue test, and percentage of decline in peak torque measured every 30 seconds during the recovery period following a fatigue test can be reliably measured in a population of healthy subjects. In addition, these data show that the percentage of decline in peak force measured 30 seconds after completion of a fatigue test (recovery index) is more highly correlated with the maximum aerobic capacity (O₂max) than either peak torque or percentage of decline in peak torque at the end of a fatigue test. Based on these observations, the authors state, "Recovery of peak torque after a standardized 1-minute bout of fatiguing exercise may better [than a fatigue index] reflect the theoretical construct of muscle endurance capacity resulting from exercise or disease."...
