Charley horse: It deals a lot with the environment in which you workout in and the level of activity. For instance if you are doing an extreme work out in extreme heat.This will lead to an increasei in Lactic Acid in the muscle and cramping. There is also the possibility of muscle fatigueleadig to a contraction of the tendon.Feels like a charley horse but it isn't.This could be solved. With orthotics.
