Electrolyte beverage consumption alters electrically induced cramping threshold

Background Recent investigations have questioned the role of hydration and electrolytes in cramp susceptibility and thus the efficacy of consuming electrolyte‐rich carbohydrate beverages (EB) to control/prevent cramping. Methods Nine euhydrated, cramp‐prone participants had their cramp susceptibility assessed by measuring the nerve stimulation threshold frequency at which cramping occurs (TF) before and after consumption of an EB (kCal: 120, Na:...
