Description
Last month, I read one of the best scientific treatises on cramping that I've ever seen. The title of the article was "", and was written by today's podcast guest, Andrew Buskard. If you've ever scratched your head about why the heck you won't stop cramping during your workouts or races, this episode is for you! During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why a cramp during exercise is way different than a medically associated cramp... -What's really happening inside your body when you cramp... -Why the traditional theories of what causes exercise associated muscle cramping are incorrect or have been mostly disproven... -Why neurologically related cramps are the primary cause of cramping during exercise... -Why simply tasting something very salty can reverse a cramp... -How your environment, your relaxation level and even your genetics can affect your susceptibility to cramping... -Strategies to stop cramping when you have adequate electrolytes and hydration but you're still cramping... Do you have more questions about why cramping really happens? Leave your comments and thoughts at .
