This is a good analogy, and instrument players all hit the fatigue issue.
On top of posture, a lot of the pro players seem to manage it with a mix of:
- regular muscle training to protect articulations
- regular resting periods and avoiding activities that hit the same moves
- medication as soon as there is any sign of things going wrong
