Tufts Lacrosse Players Hospitalized After Training with Navy SEAL Grad
Five members of the Tufts men's lacrosse team are currently hospitalized after participating in a workout with a Navy SEAL training program graduate.
The incident occurred on Monday, August 15, at the team's preseason training camp in New Hampshire.
The players were reportedly participating in a workout led by a graduate of the Navy SEAL training program when they experienced various medical issues, including dehydration, heat exhaustion, and rhabdomyolysis.
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition that occurs when muscle tissue is damaged and breaks down, releasing harmful substances into the bloodstream. It can lead to kidney failure, electrolyte imbalances, and other serious health problems.
The players were transported to a local hospital, where they are currently being treated. Their conditions are said to be stable, but they are expected to remain in the hospital for several days.
The university is investigating the incident and has suspended all athletic activities until further notice.
The Navy SEAL training program is known for its extreme physical and mental challenges. Graduates of the program are highly skilled and trained to operate in some of the most challenging environments in the world.
It is unclear what went wrong during the workout, but it is clear that the players were not adequately prepared for the intensity of the training.
This incident serves as a reminder that even the most experienced athletes can be injured when they push themselves too hard.
It is important to listen to your body and to take breaks when you need them. If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort, it is important to stop exercising and seek medical attention.
