Question

2. Why do athletes sometimes suffer from muscular cramps?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The 'Dehydration/Electrolyte Theory'

It speculates that a significant disturbance in fluid or electrolyte balance, usually due to a reduction in total body exchangeable sodium stores, causes a contraction of the interstitial fluid compartment around muscles and a misfiring of nerve impulses, leading to cramp.
