In collegiate swimmers, risk factors for exertional rhabdomyolysis after a novel upper body workout included increased resting blood pressure, acidic urine in females, and regular protein shake ingestion.
Stanfa et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Symptomatic exertional rhabdomyolysis (sER) (n=34). Various risk factors (motivation, symptoms, supplements, physiological changes) vs. Nonhospitalized swimmers was evaluated on Hospitalization or treatment for symptomatic exertional rhabdomyolysis. Risk factors for symptomatic exertional rhabdomyolysis included exceptional motivation, extreme soreness, increased resting BP, acidic urine in females (P=0.004), and protein shake ingestion.
