Abstract

INTRODUCTION Exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMCs) are painful involuntary contractions of skeletal muscle during or after exercise. They are the most common heat-related illness (5) and affect recreationally active individuals (17) and competitive athletes alike (2,8,25). Despite their commonality, fewwell-designed research studies exist examining the cause, treatment, and prevention of EAMCs. As a result, numerous myths exist about EAMCs. My goal in thisMedical Report will be to debunk some of these myths by examining the scientific evidence.

关于运动相关肌肉痉挛的神话和误解

运动相关性肌肉痉挛(eamc)是在运动中或运动后骨骼肌不自主的疼痛收缩。它们是最常见的与热有关的疾病(5)，并且影响娱乐活动的人(17)和竞技运动员(2,8,25)。尽管它们具有共性，但很少有精心设计的研究来检查EAMCs的病因、治疗和预防。因此，存在着许多关于eamc的神话。在这篇医学报告中，我的目标是通过检验科学证据来揭穿这些神话。
