摘要

Optimal function of skeletal muscle is essential for successful athletic performance. Even minor derangements in locomotor muscle function will affect power output, coordination, stamina, and desire to work during exercise. In this article, the presenting clinical signs, differential diagnoses, approach to diagnostic testing and treatment of muscle atrophy and weakness, focal muscle strain, and exertional myopathies are discussed. Exertional myopathies include polysaccharide storage myopathies, recurrent exertional rhab-domyolysis, malignant hyperthermia, and myofibrillar myopathy.
