I wouldn't call it an injury. But I was swimming a 800 yd swim when on about my 3rd to last lap my calf muscle and leg started to cramp like ******* hell!!!! I just wanted to ask why it does that, I know it deals with not having enough H2O and sodium. But why??

i think it happens because your body doesnt have enough water so it makes the muscle work even harder than it really is and i guess it doesnt have the right amount of sodium, which causes it to tighten

Go external and get a few excersize earlier than the reasonable. I recognise you customarily think like crap, however believe me, gentle excersize reduces the affliction. Take a medium pace motorcycle trip, swim a few sluggish laps, or simply opt for a quick paced stroll. It particularly is helping cramps. A little even as earlier than you reside, take a few Extra Strength Midol. If you should not have that, then Advil, Tylenol, and so forth. At tuition in case your cramps are that unhealthy that day, simply say you forgot your gymnasium garments or pass to the nurse and inform her what is up. It maybe embarrassing however the nurse is there for that sort of factor! I am definite she is going to deliver you recommendation and excuse you from gymnasium. In eighth grade I had a gorgeous strict male gymnasium trainer and while my peers and that i had interval disorders, we could pass with each and every different to the nurse.

muscle fermentation. when you are deprived of oxygen, the muscles start to form lactic acid, causing a cramp.
