Résumé

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most reported side effect of cancer and its treatments. Mechanisms of CRF are multidimensional, including neuromuscular alterations leading to decreased muscle strength and endurance (i.e., fatigability). Recently, exercise fatigability and CRF have been related, while fatigability mechanisms remain unclear. Traditionally, fatigability is assessed from maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) decrease, but some authors hypothesized that the rate of force development (RFD) determined during a rapid contraction could also be an interesting indicator of functional alterations. However, to our knowledge, no study investigated RFD in cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether RFD, fatigability amplitude, and etiology are different between fatigued and non-fatigued cancer patients. Eighteen participants with cancer, divided in fatigued or non-fatigued groups according their CRF level, completed a 5-min all-out exercise in ankle plantar flexor muscles composed of 62 isometric MVC of 4 s with 1 s rest, to assess fatigability amplitude as the force-time relationship asymptote (F F During treatments, fatigability is higher in fatigued patients; however, the mechanisms of fatigability and RFD alterations are similar in both groups.
