Cramps are caused by contraction or over shortening of muscles!. Cramps can be caused by cold, overexertion or low calcium level in blood (especially for adolescents where they need calcium for both blood and bone maturing)

Muscle cramps can be treated by applying a soft massage on the cramped muscle,stretching your hands up above you and breathing in deeply through the mouth, stretching the muscle and applying heat or cold!. Heat improves superficial blood circulation and makes muscles more flexible, so some people find that heat is more soothing for muscle cramps!. Application of excessive heat or cold to sore muscles may bring on cramps!. Pounding on a cramped muscle can increase soreness!.
