Patients made a complete recovery upon discharge. <br><br><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The rhabdomyolysis was attributed to the same excruciating workout both men underwent. Exertion rhabdomyolysis exemplified by the cases presented highlights a rising concern over the health consequences of the popular training program. CrossFit®-induced rhabdomyolysis is underrecognized and should be considered in patients presenting with signs and symptoms of rhabdomyolysis.</p>}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Medical Students}, author={Rathi, Madhur}, year={2014}, month={Oct.}, pages={132–134} }
