can anyone tell me why when i play football or badminton my calfs start hurting and ache for a few days after i thought it was because i was not used to playing buts its been about 5 months since i started

Do you stretch after exercising? I find if I don't then my calf muscles ache like mad. A few minutes of stretching out could make the world of difference - as could doing yoga or Pilates once a week to keep the muscles stretched and long.

No im not fat, and its not always after it some times start when im still playing
