Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is the culprit to be blamed. Cramps occur when muscle cells respire anaerobically. Partial breakdown of glucose, due to lack of oxygen, produces lactic acid and the accumulation of lactic acid causes muscle cramps.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration requires more energy than anaerobic respiration because in anaerobic respiration glucose is incompletely broken down. Due to incomplete breakdown, lactic acid is produced instead of carbon dioxide and water later.
Detailed explanation-3: -This happens because oxygen can’t get to the muscle fast enough to keep up with the amount of energy the muscle needs. “When your muscles are making energy anaerobically, lactic acid is created as a byproduct, ” says Dr. Hedt.
Detailed explanation-4: -During intense exercise, there may not be enough oxygen available to complete the process, so a substance called lactate is made. Your body can convert this lactate to energy without using oxygen. But this lactate or lactic acid can build up in your bloodstream faster than you can burn it off.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lactic acid is the waste product produced during anaerobic respiration. Running fast can lead to a build-up of lactic acid in your muscles, causing cramp.
