I-Rhabdo-short ye-rhabdomyolysis - yilapho umsipha ulimala kangangokuthi izicubu ziqala ukuphuka futhi okuqukethwe kwe-muscle fiber kukhishwa egazini. Ngenkathi abantu benza amahlaya ngokuthi "bazobamba" i-rhabdo ngokuzama i-CrossFit, empeleni kuyindaba ebucayi ngempela-ukubheka nje i-Paralympic snowboarder kanye ne-DWTS alum u-Amy Purdy, obesesibhedlela ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ezedlule ene-rhabdo ngemuva kokudonsa kanzima- ukuvivinya umzimba. (Bheka, i-CrossFit akuwona ukuphela kokuzivocavoca okungadala i-rhabdo.)

Isebenza kanjani i-rhabdo: ukuwohloka kwemisipha kukhipha iphrotheni elibizwa ngokuthi i-myoglobin egazini futhi kuhlungwa ngezinso emzimbeni.

Kwabonakala kwenzeka ngokungenacala, ngenza uchungechunge badonse futhi bamane baphushe kanzima ukuze baqedele isethi," kubhala uPurdy kwenye i-Instagram. (Futhi akuyena yedwa-ukuzivocavoca umzimba okucishe kwabulala nalo wesifazane.)

Uthe izicubu zakhe bezinobuhlungu, akukho okungajwayelekile waze wabona ukuthi kukhona ukuvuvukala engalweni. Njengoba uPurdy wayenomngani esibhedlela owayenesimo esifanayo ngonyaka odlule, wazibona izimpawu futhi wazi ukuthi udinga ukuya esibhedlela, ngokusho kwe-Instagram yakhe. Ngokushesha uye phambili izinsuku ezinhlanu futhi uthi wenza kahle-kodwa "ngibonga kakhulu ngempilo [yakhe] nempilo."

Izimpawu zifaka umbala wokumnyama nokwehla kokuchama, ubuthakathaka bemisipha, ukuqina, nobumnene, kanye nokukhathala nobuhlungu bamalunga.

"Abantu abasengcupheni [ye-rhabdo] yibona abalungile abangazange benze i-CrossFit futhi bangene bacabanga ukuthi bangahamba kanzima kusenesikhathi ngaphambi kokuba imizimba yabo ijwayele ivolumu namandla," njengoNowa Abbot, umqeqeshi eCrossFit South Brooklyn, usitshele ku-The 12 Biggest Myths About CrossFit. (Ukhathazekile nge-rhabdo? Sebenzisa amathiphu alaba bomzimba wokuvimbela ukulimala lapho uqala uhlelo lokuqina kakhulu njenge-CrossFit.)
