Correct answer: (A) Median PSD frequency decreases; (C) RMS amplitude increases
Explanation
Fatigue commonly reduces muscle-fibre conduction velocity, shifting spectral power toward lower frequencies and lowering median frequency. During the sustained effort represented by the question, additional recruitment/activation can increase the signal RMS. Thus A,C are the source’s expected fatigue signatures; details can vary with task and contraction protocol.
