The Role of Salt Abs in Cramping

What is the evidence or lack of evidence for loss of sodium and sweat leading to cramping? That's a great question. You know, that's another area of I don't want to say controversy, but there are two camps. There's one idea about cramping that has to do with muscle fatigue and more of a neural component. But at least as far as the science is concerned, there's probably more evidence not for a neural type of mechanism for cramping than there is for dehydration or sodium.
