Could I use this as a factor that affects muscle fatigue

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between the intensity of muscle contractions and muscle fatigue. It explores the legitimacy of using "the intensity of muscle contractions" as a factor in an experiment designed to measure how quickly muscles become fatigued. The proposed hypothesis states that the intensity of muscle contractions affects the rate of muscle fatigue. Support for this idea is provided through references to static isometric muscle stressing exercises, which demonstrate that higher intensity can lead to quicker fatigue in muscles.

Could I use "The intensity of muscle contractions" as a factory that may affect how quickly muscles become fatigued? I'm doing an experiment, but is this a legitimate idea? Would my hypothesis be "The intensity of muscle contractions in the body affects how quickly muscles become fatigued"?

You are correct; and, that is demonstrated by the effects of static isometric muscle stressing exercises.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
