Exercise associated muscle cramping : investigating a novel hypothesis

This thesis on Exercise Associated Muscle Cramping (EAMC) comprised three individual studies. The aims of this series of investigations were firstly to investigate the nature and prevalence of EAMC in a group of lronman triathletes with a past history of EAMC, secondly to compare the serum electrolyte concentrations in cramping and control Ironman triathletes as well as to record the baseline electromyography (EMG) of cramping lronman triathletes during recovery and thirdly to compare the EMG activity of cramping and control runners before, during and after a fatiguing bout of exercise.
