Side stitches, medically known as exercise-related transient abdominal pain (ETAP), disrupt workouts and can be felt on the lower edge of the ribcage, affecting runners' pace and enjoyment.
Potential causes of side stitches include diaphragm spasms from continuous contractions during vigorous exercise and irritation of abdominal ligaments due to stress during high-impact movements.
