Physical characteristics and responses to self\u2010reported questionnaires were evaluated. Strength loss and tissue oxygenation in response to a fatiguing exercise protocol were used to quantify fatigability and the local muscle hemodynamic profile. Muscle biopsies were performed to assess between\u2010group differences in baseline muscle properties using histochemical, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no significant difference between healthy controls and FM patients in muscle fatigue in response to exercise. However, self\u2010reported fatigue and pain were correlated with prolonged loss of strength following 12 minutes of recovery in patients with FM. Although there was no difference in percent succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)\u2013positive (type I) and SDH\u2010negative (type II) fibers or in mean fiber cross\u2010sectional area between groups, FM patients exhibited greater variability in fiber size and altered fiber size distribution. In healthy controls only, fatigue resistance was strongly correlated with the size of SDH\u2010positive fibers and hemoglobin oxygenation. In contrast, FM patients with the highest percentage of SDH\u2010positive fibers recovered strength most effectively, and this was correlated with capillary density. However, overall, capillary density was lower in the FM group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Peripheral mechanisms, i.e., altered muscle fiber size distribution and decreased capillary density, may contribute to postexertional fatigue in FM.
