          Abstract

          CrossFit, a high-intensity interval training, keeps growing in trend and is one of the most favorable types of fitness, after wearable technology. However, an excessive workout is detrimental to the human body, particularly the muscle tissue. CrossFit is known to cause exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis, a concerning disease with potentially devastating consequences. Nevertheless, only a few case reports have described this disease, and this is the first case report of such disease in Indonesia to the best of our knowledge.

          A 27-year-old, previously healthy and active Indonesian male presented with dark urine and myalgia in lower extremities after 720 repetitions of squats three days before admission. His urinalysis showed +1 blood, 2-7 red blood cells/high power field (HPF), but negative protein. Laboratory results showed an increase in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) (54,250 U/L) and LDH (1,670 U/L) levels, consistent with exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis, and serum calcium of 1.87 mmol/L, with normal serum creatinine and BUN level. He was hospitalized for two days and was treated with intravenous hydration therapy.

          CrossFit-induced rhabdomyolysis is a potentially devastating disease. Apart from prompt diagnosis and treatment, further research regarding the safe number of repetitions for CrossFit training, particularly for lower extremities are needed. Predictors of CrossFit-induced rhabdomyolysis must be sought throughout, and participants’ awareness should be increased.
