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.
