Article Synopsis
- Exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) is a condition where muscle cells break down after intense exercise, potentially leading to long-term physical issues even after recovery.
- A case study followed a 31-year-old amateur runner who experienced heat stroke, ER, and kidney failure during a half-marathon; despite normal symptoms and CK levels after three months, MRI scans showed lingering signs of muscle damage.
- The study highlights that relying solely on clinical recovery and CK levels for returning to physical activity may be misleading, as MRI findings could either delay or confirm readiness to resume exercise based on ongoing muscle damage.
