| Résumé : | Fatigue refers to global self-reported tiredness, exhaustion, lack of energy, and weariness1 and is a common complaint in older adults, although experienced by people of every age. Fatigue in older adults is associated with poor mobility, functional limitations, and mortality.2, 3 Assessing fatigue and its impact on physical activity, however, is challenging given the propensity to modify activities to maintain feelings of fatigue within an acceptable range; referred to as self-pacing.1 For example, different people may rate their fatigue at the same level, however, the impact of similarly-rated fatigue levels on physical activity likely differs from individual to individual. The concept of fatigability addresses this relationship between fatigue and physical activity. Eldadah (2010) defined fatigability as the degree of fatigue experienced during performance of a defined activity, which normalized fatigue to activity level. Understanding fatigability, therefore, can provide insight into the extent to which fatigue actually interferes with physical activity and this is important for evaluating the impact of fatigue on physical activity and vice versa. |
