What is cramps?
A cramp is actually a muscle spasm. It refers to a phenomenon in which the muscles in one part of the body contract involuntarily and cannot relax quickly. The site of cramping occurs most often at the back of the calf, the back of the thigh, and the front of the thigh. In addition, cramps may occur in small muscles that contain feet, fingers, arms, abdomen, and even ribs.
When cramping, the whole muscle becomes stiff, and sometimes you can even see muscle twitching under the skin. Muscle paralysis may disappear after a few seconds, or it may last more than 15 minutes. If it is not dealt with in time or the original movement is interrupted, it may happen again and again in a short time.
The actual cause of cramping during exercise is currently not conclusive, but it is generally believed that this is due to the interaction of many factors.
The phenomenon of cramps and their causes
1, lack of sufficient stretching exercise before exercise;
2. Muscular fatigue due to excessive use;
3, exercise in too hot climate;
4, the sudden change in ambient temperature;
5, too much water loss;
6, electrolyte imbalance;
7. Incorrect posture of exercise;
8, the mood is too tight;
9, unbalanced diet, drug side effects and so on.
How to deal with cramps
1. Immediately interrupt ongoing exercise;
2. To a cool, ventilated place, and add water, sports drinks are preferred;
3. Slowly stretch the muscles that are lying, and you can also massage the cramps moderately.
4. In the course of treatment, hyperthermia or cold therapy can be supplemented. Whether it is sports spray or hot and cold packs have a good effect.
Leg and thigh cramp treatment shanks:

Outdoor exercise leg cramp prevention and treatment method thigh:
Twist the thighs and knees to the abdomen, embrace the hands, release the legs and straighten the legs, repeat the action until it is restored.
How to prevent cramps
In the pre-exercise (for warm-up exercises) and (post-operation exercises), strengthen the "stretching" movements.
During exercise, the supplement of water can supplement sodium (salt) and electrolyzed water to balance the body's potassium and sodium. Drinking sports drinks, such as treasure minerals, can supplement sodium and electrolyzed water, but also allow the stomach and intestines to quickly absorb water and reduce the weight burden on the stomach and intestines. (In addition to eating salt and fruit, not only is it better to eat, but it also balances potassium.)
With appropriate and gradual movements, cramps are what the body warns us. The amount of exercise now exceeds our ability. In other words, we usually have insufficient exercise and we must practice more. When cramps occur in outdoor activities, in addition to the above-mentioned emergency treatment, at least several days of hot compresses and massages are required after returning home. Otherwise, cramps will easily recur.
