Hello Hello. I've been a long time sport player and as such have felt varying levels of fatigue from all of them and to narrow down all of them that would be: Rugby Union, Grid Iron, Rugby League, Squash and Tennis.
This was mainly to discuss levels of fatigue from usual to extreme if they wanted to to find out just how far your body has ever gone for you and the effects you felt from it.
Cold to Hot (initial warmup) - By far the worst feeling of fatigue as it isnt really fatigue its more so I guess the body getting into gear and its exacerbated by cold weather or early morning games. Everything feels extra-laboured and alot slower then you know you're capable of and can completely ruin your mentality for a game (in my opinion).
Early-Midgame - The easiest part of the game your spirits are high and everything is cooking so to speak, your legs feel energised but not tired, you're confident and everything is flowing right. You make it to every break down and pain is light to non-existent.
Mid-Later game - Onset of lactic acid from prolonged exertion, mild-medium fatigue sets in you feel alot less immaculate then you did before. I tend to suffer from burning in my calves. The mind begins to betray you using pain, doubt just trying to give you ANY reason to sit down, the mind is very persuasive if you let it be D: but in my opinion the body is but the vessel the mind can manipulate the body is going to try give you reasons not to do something via pain, fatigue, cramps and what not but ultimately its your concious decision that decides if you do or dont regardless of the bodies pleas.
Euphoria - Very late game - I have experienced this only once it was a semi-final 3 minutes from full-time we were literally pinned on our try line and everyone was working overtime to hold them back. My legs had gone numb, I felt nothing, no fatigue, no pain, no real emotion. My breathing was steady but shallow and fast but not like I was out of breath just .. shallow and fast S: I also recall I couldnt hear much at all it was oddly peaceful then the whistle blew and the moment passed and I have never experienced that 'euphoria' again. Odd no?
I apologise if this was long but its something i've long wanted to discuss, I had more but its very hard to bring back feelings like that, very situational that is, on the spot.
