Question

If an Athlete suffers from muscular cramps while running a race. How can we help him overcome the cramps?

Answer 1

An athlete suffers muscular cramps due to accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles. To provide relief, the lactic acid needs to be displaced. The impacted area can be massaged, rest can be given, a hot shower may also help. Slow breathing will help in early oxidation of the acid.
