Tufts Lacrosse Players Hospitalized After Intense Workout

Nine athletes suffer from rhabdomyolysis following a supervised training session led by a Navy SEAL graduate.

Tufts University has launched an independent investigation into the workout that led to the hospitalization of nine lacrosse players.
The condition, rhabdomyolysis, is caused by extreme overexertion, leading to muscle breakdown and the release of harmful chemicals into the bloodstream.
Experts criticize the workout's intensity and lack of proper transition, noting that Navy SEAL training is inappropriate for college athletes.
Three players remain hospitalized, with doctors monitoring their recovery closely to prevent potential heart and kidney complications.
The university aims to review and improve its training protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.
