Exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) is a common medical condition encountered by primary care and sports medicine providers. Although the majority of individuals with ER follow an expected and unremarkable clinical course without any adverse long-term sequelae or increased risk for recurrence, in others, the condition can serve as an "unmasker" of an underlying condition that portends future risk. We present two cases of warfighters with a history of recurrent ER who presented to our facility for…

Clinical Practice Guidelines for Exertional Rhabdomyolysis: A Military Medicine Perspective
TLDR
A clinical practice guideline for diagnosis and management of ER in warfighters was updated by a team of military and civilian physicians and researchers using current scientific literature and decades of experience within the military population to focus on challenging and controversial clinical questions.
Risk factors and future directions for preventing and diagnosing exertional rhabdomyolysis
Exertional rhabdomyolysis: physiological response or manifestation of an underlying myopathy?
TLDR
The present review aims to provide a practical guideline for the acute management and postepisode counselling of patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis, with a particular emphasis on when to suspect an underlying genetic disorder.
Rhabdomyolysis in adolescent athletes: review of cases
TLDR
Treatment for exercised-induced rhabdomyolysis rarely requires more than rehydration, and return to play should be progressive, individualized, and include acclimatization and monitoring of hydration status, though guidelines require further review.
Recurrent Rhabdomyolysis and Extreme Exercise- A Case Study
TLDR
There does not appear to be a definitive protocol for an accurate diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis, and Guidelines for return to activity should be evaluated on a case by case basis, and a conservative increase in intensity of exercise is warranted to prevent a case of recurrent rhabDomyolyism.
Non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis: Background, laboratory features, and acute clinical management.
[Exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis - a new trend?]
  • H. Fardal, L. Gøransson
  • Medicine
    Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke
  • 2016
TLDR
The incidence of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis at SUS increased from autumn 2014, and this coincided with increased media attention and a new exercise trend, and the treatment depended more on the attending physician and department than on the patient's clinical condition and CK-level.
Risk Factors for Collegiate Swimmers Hospitalized With Exertional Rhabdomyolysis
TLDR
Risk factors for sER included exceptional motivation, extreme soreness, increased resting BP, acidic urine (females), and regular ingestion of protein shakes after workouts.
Ramifications of rhabdomyolysis.
  • E. Eichner
  • Education
    Current sports medicine reports
  • 2014
TLDR
Another ramification of rhabdomyolysis is the UI study of creatine kinase (CK) levels during a preseason football camp, which suggests the Hawkeye team ER in January 2011 was not for conditioning but for punishment or intimidation.
Avoidable healthcare costs of spinning‐induced rhabdomyolysis: a case series
TLDR
It is proposed that community‐based preventive measures should be considered in addressing the economic consequences of SIR and it is called for preventive action towards avoidable healthcare costs associated with SIR.

Return to Physical Activity After Exertional Rhabdomyolysis
TLDR
After treatment for ER, the provider must risk-stratify the athlete for risk of recurrence, consider further testing, and make the difficult decision on when, if, and under what conditions the athlete can safely return to play.
Exertional Rhabdomyolysis: A Clinical Review With a Focus on Genetic Influences
TLDR
The prognosis for ER is significantly better than that for other etiologies of rhabdomyolysis, but the risk of recurrence after an initial episode is unknown, and guidelines for management are provided.
Rhabdomyolysis in a Collegiate Football Player
TLDR
A case of exertional rhabdomyolysis occurring in a healthy, fit 18-year-old placekicker following a supervised practice session led by the team's strength and conditioning coach is presented.
Exertional Heat Illness, Exertional Rhabdomyolysis, and Malignant Hyperthermia: Is There a Link?
TLDR
Recommendations for treatment and recovery include cooling and administration of dantrolene for MH, cooling and aggressive fluid administration for EHI, and physical rest and aggressive intravenous fluid administrationfor ER.
Acute Exertional Rhabdomyolysis and Triceps Compartment Syndrome During a High School Football Camp
TLDR
The upper arm exercise, possibly exacerbated by heat, led to rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome and greater awareness of specific exercise hazards and prevention strategies can minimize risk for clinically significant muscle injury.
Evidence for Susceptibility to Malignant Hyperthermia in Patients with Exercise-induced Rhabdomyolysis
TLDR
The authors recommend performing muscle biopsies for histologic examination and IVCT in patients with ER and screened for genetic abnormalities to shed light on the genetics of MH.
Rhabdomyolysis following Severe Physical Exercise in a Patient with Predisposition to Malignant Hyperthermia
TLDR
The in vitro contracture test is the only method used to determine susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia and should be performed when the diagnosis is suggested on clinical grounds.
Exertional rhabdomyolysis in seven division-1 swimming athletes.
TLDR
Exertional rhabdomyolysis classically occurs in individuals who are physically untrained, but it may occur in young, healthy, and competitive athletes who acutely increase their activity.
Malignant hyperthermia associated with exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis or congenital abnormalities and a novel RYR1 mutation in New Zealand and Australian pedigrees.
TLDR
DNA sequence analysis of each kindred revealed the presence of a common novel mutation that results in an arginine401-cysteine substitution in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor gene (RYR1), providing confirmation that the MH/central core disease region 1 of RYR1 is a mutation hot spot.
Exertional rhabdomyolysis and malignant hyperthermia in a patient with ryanodine receptor type 1 gene, L-type calcium channel alpha-1 subunit gene, and calsequestrin-1 gene polymorphisms.
TLDR
Clinical evidence is provided for an association between ER and MH and the possible role for synergistic action among rare variants in the genes encoding proteins crucial to skeletal muscle calcium regulation is discussed.
