Case Report (n=1)
Extreme conditioning programs can induce severe exertional rhabdomyolysis with prolonged recovery times.
Tibana et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Exertional rhabdomyolysis (n=1). Extreme conditioning program (ECP) competition was evaluated on Creatine kinase (CK) levels and myalgia. An extreme conditioning program competition induced severe exertional rhabdomyolysis in a 35-year-old female, with creatine kinase peaking at 77,590 U/L three days post-competition.
