Abstract

On the basis of the muscle contraction theory analyses the problem of the "benign cramp» skeletal muscles occurrence is investigated. It is shown, that existing theory of the muscles contraction (the theory of sliding filaments) allows explain occurrence of cramps if to use the standard positions: contraction of a muscle occurs passively, without expenses of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy; disconnection of actin-myosin complex in the cellular power mechanism is carried out with use of energy of ATP hydrolysis.
