Leg cramps can occur for no apparent reason, known as idiopathic leg cramps, or as a symptom or complication of a health condition, known as secondary leg cramps.
Causes of secondary leg cramps can include:
pregnancy
exercise
certain types of medication, such as statins (medicines that help lower cholesterol levels)
liver disease
During a cramp, your muscles suddenly contract (shorten), causing pain in your leg. This is known as a spasm, and you cannot control the affected muscle.
The cramp can last from a few seconds to 10 minutes. When the spasm passes, you will be able to control the affected muscle again.

It happens when we do any muscular activity first time or after a long time...in other words we are not habitual of doing it...then lactic acid gets secreted over there....and it takes place as a cramp.
