What causes cramps? Four reasons to pay attention to

Speaking of cramps, I believe everyone has encountered them in their daily lives. Generally speaking, men usually experience cramps due to fatigue, and the specific reasons are mostly related to the following four factors.

1. Fatigue:

When the body is tired, the normal physiological functions of the muscles will change. At this time, a large amount of lactic acid will accumulate in the muscles, and lactic acid will constantly stimulate muscle spasms.

2. Electrolyte imbalance:

Sweating a lot during exercise, especially in hot climates, will cause a lot of electrolyte loss. The main components of sweat are water and salt, and salt is related to muscle contraction. Excessive salt loss will cause muscle excitement and cramps.

3. Cold stimulation:

In cold weather, such as when swimming and being exposed to cold water, muscles can easily go into spasm, especially if warm-up exercises are not done adequately. This is mainly because the muscles become more excited due to the cold.

4. Excessive exercise:

Cramps will occur when the amount of exercise is small, so before doing a certain exercise, you should do some warm-up and adaptive training. Of course, when the amount of exercise is too much, the abnormal distribution of calcium on the muscle cell membrane will also cause fatigue cramps. Therefore, exercise is recommended, but the exercise should be appropriate.
