The refractory period is much greater in case of cardiac muscle. It contracts slowly and rhythmically.

but skeletal muscles experience fatigue easily since the expenditure of energy is very high; and as refractory period is very less it does not get time for the removal of the accumulated lactic acid due to anoxygenic respiration.
