The cramps can be caused due to anaerobic respiration in the muscles and lactic acid formation.

During intense physical activity the muscles become deprived of oxygen, in this condition, anaerobic respiration takes place in the muscle cells causes the formation of the lactic acid.

The physical training increases the strength of the muscles, which can help the muscles not to get tired easily. that is why, physical training is required before any marathon.

The most likely cause of cramps in Bradley's thighs would be the build up of lactic acid. This is a side effect of longer and strenuous activity during which you continouosly tax your body - or rather your muscles where they would need a lot of energy to properly function.

What is electrolyte balance in the body?
Vlad1618 [11]

The electrolytes present in our body should be in the right concentration. This is said to be electrolyte balance.

Why does an electrolyte imbalance occur?

Electrolyte imbalance is caused when the body fluids are present in large amount. When we sweat or vomit more, it can be due to the lower level of some electrolytes. So, it is necessary that the electrolytes should be in proper proportion.

Electrolytes plays a very important role in our body. It helps in regulation of fluids present in blood and blood plasma, normalizes the pH of blood, allows the contraction of muscles and so on. For all these necessary roles to occur, our electrolytes should be in proper concentration. This is called electrolyte balance.
