How do muscles fatigue?..by cellular calcium leakage.

According to a Coumbia University Study aimed at treating congestive heart failure, the cause of muscle fatigue is calcium leakage from muscle cells (Lactic Acid secretion had long since been discredited as the cause). With calcium-leakage blocking drugs, mice could run 10-20% longer - is an anti-fatigue drug on the way?..and would it be prudent?..
