Rhabdomyolysis following moderate exercise.
Raised levels of serum muscle enzyme activity are frequently seen following unaccustomed or prolonged strenuous exercise. Following particularly severe exercise, muscle enzyme levels can be extremely high and are occasionally associated with rhabdomyolysis. A case of rhabdomyolysis following a moderate degree of accustomed exercise in a fit young soldier is reported and discussed.
