Question

Why do you get muscle cramps after heavy exercise?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Muscle cramps occur when there is anaerobic respiration taking place in our muscles. During anaerobic respiration, glucose gets converted into lactic acid which leads to lack of oxygen. A hot water bath or a massage can help in getting relief from the muscle cramps.

Answer 2

Answer:

when we do heavy exercise our body respires in lack of oxygen ,thus due to lack of oxygen in our cells glucose breaks down into lactic acid energy and co2.

Thus formation of lactic acid in our muscle cells causes muscle cramps.
