Abstract:Objective To analyze intensity levels, modalities, types of physical activities, ambient temperature, and hydration levels during stimuli performed in training and competitionof studies that reported episodes of rhabdomyolysis in athletes. Method We conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO, as number CRD42020126107. MedLine (via PubMed), Cochrane, LILACS, SciELO, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, ScienceDirect, and PEDro databases were searched for cas… Show more

ObjectivesMore patients are being diagnosed with exertional rhabdomyolysis secondary to indoor spinning. We conducted a systematic review to characterize the clinical characteristics of this new clinical entity.
MethodsWe conducted a thorough literature search on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). Articles published from inception till 23 rd June 2021 were considered for inclusion. A two-stage article selection process was performed.Articles that reported clinical characteristics and outcomes for patients with SIER were included. Quality assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists.
ResultsThere was a total of 22 articles and 97 patients with SIER. Most patients were healthy females who had attended their rst spinning session. The average time to clinical presentation was 3.1 ± 1.5 days. The most common presenting symptoms were myalgia, dark urine and muscle weakness involving the thigh.Seven patients (7.2%) developed acute kidney injury, and two patients (2.1%) required temporary inpatient haemodialysis. Four patients (4.1%) developed thigh compartment syndrome and required fasciotomies. There were no long-term sequelae or mortality observed. The average length of stay was 5.6 ± 2.9 days.
ConclusionsHealthcare professionals must have a high index of suspicion of SIER if any patient presents with myalgia, dark urine or weakness after a recent episode of indoor spinning. Fitness centre owners, spinning instructors and participants should also be better educated about the clinical characteristics and manifestations of SIER.

“…Unaccustomed, sudden, heavy, and prolonged physical exercise can induce rhabdomyolysis 6 . Myalgia/pain, muscle weakness, local swelling, myoglobinuria (tea-colored dark urine), and fatigue within 24–48 h postphysical activity are typical presentations of exRML 1 , 6 , 7 . Elevation of CK to more than 1000 IU/l, which is about five times the upper limit of the normal level, combined with a history of recent vigorous or prolonged physical activity, should raise suspicion of ExRML 1 , 4 , 7 .…”

Introduction:
Rhabdomyolysis is a medical condition that results from damage to striated muscles that causes the release of their components into the bloodstream. Laboratory indications include high levels of creatinine kinase and myoglobin in the serum.
Importance:
This case report emphasizes the importance of having professional trainers in gyms and training centers who respect trainees’ limitations and physical capabilities and ensure that physical exercise programs are being conducted safely and effectively.
Case presentation:
A 39-year-old female healthcare provider presented to the emergency department at a tertiary/quaternary hospital in Saudi Arabia, with progressive right arm pain, swelling, weakness, and dark urine 2 days after an unaccustomed heavy physical exercise session with her personal trainer following a long pause from physical training.
Clinical discussion:
Levels of serum creatinine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine transaminase were moderately elevated. There was no evidence of renal impairment, electrolyte disturbance, or coagulopathy. The patient was treated with analgesics, received hydration, and was discharged home under close observation and with a follow-up clinic visit scheduled to check for complications. Data were collected from the hospital’s electronic medical records, including clinical notes and laboratory investigations.
Conclusion:
Awareness campaigns need to be conducted to educate the public about healthy ways to exercise, such as gradually increasing the intensity of physical activity, warming up before exercising, cooling down after each workout, and staying hydrated. It is important that healthcare providers, trainees and trainers are able to recognize the signs of muscular injury following vigorous exercise in order to reduce the incidences of complications that could be deadly if they are not caught and managed early.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
