Explanation / Answer

54. Inability of a muscle to maintain it's strength of contraction or tension during prolonged activity.

3. Muscle fatigue

Because muscle fatigue is the decrease in the ability of muscles to generate force. And this inability occurs due to two main reasons: 1) limitations of nerve's ability to assist signal,2) decrease in the ability of muscle fibre contraction. So these reasons mainly causes the inability of a muscle to maintain it's strength of contraction or tension during prolonged activity.
