What causes muscle twitching?

Many men say that their muscles twitch after exercise, and the more intense the exercise, the more severe the muscle twitching. This may be caused by sweating a lot during exercise. So, from a pathological point of view, what are the specific reasons for men's muscle twitching?

Pathogenesis

Muscle twitching is commonly known as convulsion. The spastic muscles are stiff and painful, and the flexion and extension functions of the joints involved in the spastic muscles are somewhat impaired.

1. Cold stimulation

When muscles are affected by low temperatures, their excitability increases, making them more susceptible to tonic contraction. Therefore, cold stimulation, such as cold water stimulation when swimming, and cold air stimulation when exercising outdoors in winter, can cause muscle cramps. If you exercise in a cold environment without doing warm-up exercises or doing them inadequately, or if you don't pay attention to keeping warm, you are more likely to have muscle cramps.

2. Excessive loss of electrolyte

A lot of sweating during exercise, especially long-term intense exercise or exercise in hot seasons, causes a large amount of electrolytes in the body to be lost through sweat. In addition, athletes lose weight rapidly, which causes electrolytes in the body to be too low. Electrolytes are related to muscle excitability. If too much is lost, muscle excitability increases too quickly, which can cause muscle cramps.
