Independent risk factors associated with a history of exercise associated muscle cramps (EAMC) among 21460 cycling race entrants (SAFER XXXVI): a descriptive cross-sectional study
Our study identified novel independent risk factors associated with a hEAMC. These results, in combination with other known risk factors, could assist future targeted prevention programmes and the management of EAMC in recreational cyclists.
