Second, it is the problem of the muscle itself, such as insufficient muscle strength and softness, and engaging in too intense sports, or general athletes in the movement of excessive force, being hit, etc., will cause the internal laceration of muscle tendon, causing muscle spasmodic contraction (that is, cramps) to avoid further injury.

Third, if the blood circulation of muscle is blocked, it will cause local hypoxia and accumulation of metabolic waste, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which will cause muscle pain, stiffness or cramps. The causes of cramps are that the muscles keep contracting, the shoes and socks are too tight, the elastic tightening protector and the sports bandage are too tight.
