Do you often suffer from sudden, painful muscle cramps during or after your bike rides, and think drinking a little more water is enough to solve them? In this video, we debunk the myths surrounding cycling cramps, analyzing the science and discovering why dehydration isn't the only (or even the main) cause of this annoying problem. Cramps are spasmodic, involuntary, and painful muscle contractions that frequently affect the calves, quadriceps, or hamstrings. Contrary to popular belief, scientific studies show that blood electrolyte levels and hydration status are identical between athletes experiencing cramps and those experiencing control at the time of muscle failure. The true cause often lies in an alteration in neuromuscular control (fatigue theory): extreme local muscle fatigue, incorrect pacing during competition, glycogen depletion, or incorrect biomechanical position short-circuit the central nervous system, causing hyperexcitation of the muscle spindle and hypoactivity of the Golgi tendon organ.
