What if your muscles had their own song? It sounds a bit poetic, but in the world of high-level sports science, it’s actually a measurement. Every time you move, your muscles vibrate at different frequencies. This is called spectral analysis, and it’s becoming a major shift for how we understand fatigue. When a muscle is fresh, it vibrates in a very specific, rhythmic way. But as it gets tired, that rhythm changes. It starts to get
