FLCC> Muscle fatigue and leaking calcium

[Tom Swensen]

just a note here: the fatigue noted in article is related to  
dysfunction of calcium ion channels in skeletal muscle, and not due a  
shortage of calcium in the body.  so eating more calcium wont  
increase endurance.  although not mentioned in the article, calcium  
ion channel dysfunction may also be a cause of cramps during heavy  
exertion after a long day in the saddle.
