Question

Why do we feels cramp in muscles during physical activities?

Answer 1

Anaerobic respiration take place in our muscles during physical activities and forms lactic acid in our muscles. That's why we feel cramps in muscles during physical activities due to the presence of lactic acid.

Answer 2

During excess physicalactivities,lactic acid, and co2 are released in our body,co2 will be removed from body during exhalation of air,but lactic acid accumulates in our muscles,so we get muscle cramps after excess physicalactivities.By doing massage,or by applying soaked hot water on affected part,muscle cramps can be prevented.
