Tufts Lacrosse Players Hospitalized After Intense Navy SEAL-Led Workout

Twelve players diagnosed with rare muscle condition following voluntary training session, with five still in hospital.

The workout was led by a Tufts alum who recently completed Navy SEAL training and lasted 45 minutes.
Rhabdomyolysis, the condition diagnosed, can cause muscle breakdown and lead to severe complications like kidney failure.
Approximately 50 players participated in the workout, with 12 diagnosed and five remaining hospitalized.
Tufts University has postponed all team practices until each player is medically cleared.
An independent investigator has been appointed to review the circumstances leading to the injuries.
