Question

Why do we get muscle cramp after heavy exercise

Answer 1

Answer:

• We get muscle cramps due to heavy exercise.
• Due to the accumulation of lactic acid under anaerobic conditions lactic acid gets build up in our muscles.
• Due to improved blood flow the supply of oxygen to muscles increases and this oxygen breaks down lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Due to production of lactic acid

Explanation:

When we do heavy exercise, our muscle cells fall short of Oxygen. So they use that oxygen to produce lactice acid and energy. Due to the presence of lactic acid, we get cramps.

To avoid cramps, take in long breaths to provide cells with more Oxygen or drink water
