EAMC
Exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMCs), on the other hand, are defined as painful, spasmodic, involuntary contractions of skeletal muscles that occur during or immediately after exercise. Two distinct theories have been proposed to explain the causes of EAMCs.2 The first theory proposes that EAMCs occur when neuromuscular control becomes altered. Excitation of the muscle spindle and inhibition of the Golgi tendon organ occur in fatigued muscles, resulting in abnormal α-motor neuron activity and reduced inhibitory feedback. This type of cramping is generally localized to the overworked muscle. Risk factors associated with this type of cramping are age, poor stretching habits, cramping history, and excessive exercise intensity and duration. In support of this theory is the notion that the most effective treatment for relieving cramps is stretching of the muscle. Stretching increases tension in the Golgi tendon organ that inhibits the α-motor neuron.

False
Slow component of VO2 uptake kinetics is a slow increase in VO2max during prolonged, submaximal, constant power output exercises. even at low intensities
False -power outputs above the lactate threshold the oxygen consumption continues to increase beyond the typical 1 to 2 min needed to reach a steady-state value. This increase has been called the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics.7 The most likely mechanism for this slow component is an alteration in muscle fiber recruitment patterns, with the recruitment of more type II muscle fibers, which are less efficient (i.e., they require a higher O2 to achieve the same power output).
VO2 drift occurs at high power outputs and is associated with more type II fiber recruitment.
False -slow increase in O2 during prolonged, submaximal, constant power output exercise. Unlike the slow component, O2 drift is observed at power outputs well below lactate threshold, and the increase in O2 drift is more gradual. Although not understood completely, O2 drift is likely attributable to an increase in ventilation and effects of increased circulating catecholamines

Types of cramps
Muscle fatigue-associated cramps are related to sustained α-motor neuron activity, with increased muscle spindle activity and decreased Golgi tendon organ activity. Exercise-associated muscle cramps may be caused by altered neuromuscular control, fluid or electrolyte imbalances, or both. Heat-associated cramps, which typically occur in athletes who have been sweating excessively, involve a shift in fluid from the interstitial space to the intravascular space, resulting in a hyperexcitable neuromuscular junction.

EAMC: heat cramp
The second type of exercise-associated muscle cramp, often called heat cramps, frequently involves electrolyte deficits. This type of muscle cramp typically occurs in athletes who have been sweating extensively and have significant electrolyte disturbances, mainly of sodium and chloride. This type of cramping involves large muscle groups and is sometimes described as "locking up." In the muscle, to compensate for the large electrolyte sweat and plasma volume losses, fluids shift from the interstitial compartment to the intravascular compartment. It is thought that this shift in fluid can cause the neuromuscular junctions to become hyperexcitable, leading to spontaneous discharge and initiation of action potentials in the muscles. This type of exertional heat cramp usually evolves from small localized visible muscle fasciculations to severe and debilitating muscle spasms. The cramps often begin in the legs but can become widesprea

you would expect to see an increase in VO2max compared to before training.
