In one of the lab simulations performed during Lab 6, you found that as grip force or strength increases, the number of motor units recruited also increases.

Imagine that you are a muscle physiologist and studying muscle fatigue in human subjects.  You ask your subject to squeeze a device that measures grip strength with their dominant hand as hard as they can and for as long as they can.  You determine that your subject’s forearm muscles fatigue  at 64 seconds using the same criteria as our virtual lab simulation on this topic in Lab 6.  In a sentence or two, provide a physiological explanation for HOW (mechanistic perspective) this fatigue occurred at around that time with as much detail as you can muster.
