During vigorous exercise oxygen demand to muscles increases which leads to anaerobic respiration inmuscles that forms lactic acid in them. This causes cramps in your legmuscles.

Muscle cramp is an involuntary sudden contraction of muscle. Muscle cramps are caused due to over usage of muscle i.e. long run, rapid exercise etc. Cramps are also caused due to dehydration, muscle strain, holding in position for a long time. After a strenuous exercise muscles experience lack of oxygen. In the absence or insufficiency of oxygen, they respire anaerobically thereby producing lactic acid. The accumulation of lactic acid causes cramps in muscles.
