Exercise and Electrolytes
Muscle contraction happens when we engage in activity and exercise. It is the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles in response to activity or movement.
For our bodies to function properly, electrolytes including sodium, potassium and calcium are required by our muscles to contract. When these minerals become low, our muscles can become weak. This can lead to muscle spasm, cramp, pain, and injury.
Electrolytes can be lost through sweat during exercising. Exerting the body can result in the loss of key electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. This may inhibit sports performance, recovery and the enjoyment of sport.
