Serum electrolytes in Ironman triathletes with exercise-associated muscle cramping

A study is conducted to compare serum electrolyte concentrations of cramping and control Ironman triathletes. It is concluded that acute exercise-associated muscle cramping in ironman triathletes is not associated with a greater percent body mass loss or clinically significant differences in serum electrolyte concentrations.
