Muscle cramps are involuntary, painful, and sudden contractions that can occur during or after exercise. They result from a combination of factors such as dehydration, loss of minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium), or excessive muscle fatigue.
💡 Why do they appear?
- Intense workouts without a proper warm-up.
- Excessive sweating without replenishing fluids and electrolytes.
- Muscle fatigue or overexertion.
- Poor circulation or lack of stretching.
✅ How to prevent and solve them:
- Constant hydrationDrink water before, during and after exercise.
- Replenish electrolytes: incorporate foods such as bananas, nuts or natural isotonic drinks.
- Warm-up and stretchingPrepare your muscles before and relax them after training.
- Listen to your bodyIf pain or strain occurs, reduce the intensity.
- Immediate stretchingIf cramping occurs, gently stretch the affected muscle and perform a gentle massage.
