Industry Presented Webinar: Muscle Cramping During Exercise
Sponsored by: Gatorade Sports Science Institute
Muscle cramp is relatively common in many exercise situations, but the causes are not well understood, making prevention and treatment strategies uncertain. However, experiencing muscle cramp can greatly affect performance. This webinar will discuss the research on cramp as well as provide practical applications for potential prevention strategies and treatments.
