Description: Leg Cramps is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. Leg Cramps can affect any muscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle). Muscles that span two joints are most prone to Leg Cramps. Just about everyone will experience Leg Cramps sometime in life. It can happen while you play tennis or golf, bowl, swim, or do any exercise. It can also happen while you sit, walk, or even just sleep. Sometimes the slightest movement that shortens a muscle can trigger a Leg Cramps. Some people are predisposed to muscle Leg Cramps and get them regularly with any physical exertion. Those at greatest risk for Leg Cramps and other ailments related to excess heat include infants and young children, people over age 65, and those who are ill, overweight, overexert during work or exercise, or take drugs or certain medications. Leg Cramps are very common among endurance athletes (i.e., marathon runners and triathletes) and older people who perform strenuous physical activities. Athletes are more likely to get Leg Cramps in the preseason when the body is not conditioned and therefore more subject to fatigue. Leg Cramps often develop near the end of intense or prolonged exercise, or 4-6 hours later. Older people are more susceptible to muscle Leg Cramps due to normal muscle loss (atrophy) that begins in the mid-40s and accelerates with inactivity. As you age, your muscles cannot work as hard or as quickly as they used to. The body also loses some of its sense of thirst and its ability to sense and respond to changes in temperature. Although the exact cause of muscle Leg Cramps is unknown (idiopathic), some researchers believe inadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle contraction. Other factors may also be involved, including "Poor conditioning, exercising or working in intense heat, dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)".
