[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the effects of muscle fatigue on skin sensation by looking at changes in two-point discrimination (2PD) after inducing muscle fatigue. [Subjects] Thirty-four young and healthy adults with no pathological symptoms (17 males; 17 females) participated in this study. [Methods] Continuous isometric contraction was applied to the upper and lower extremities with an intensity of 50% of the maximal muscle strength to trigger muscle fatigue, and then the 2PD test was conducted on the 3 cm medial area of the elbow and 5 cm area of the knee bone. [Results] After muscle fatigue was induced, the 2PD distance significantly increased in the upper and lower extremities of both males and females. Before triggering muscle fatigue, the 2PD distance was longer in males than females, but after causing muscle fatigue, there was no difference between males and females. The increase in 2PD distance after the experiment was more significant in females than males. [Conclusion] Muscle fatigue has an effect of reducing the skin's sensory faculty by increasing the 2PD distance in the skin. There is a difference in the response of the skin according to body area and gender; therefore, caution is needed to avoid triggering fatigue during exercise.
