Rhabdomyolysis (“rhabdo”) is a serious medical condition that can be triggered by exercise, yet many fitness professionals receive little formal education about it. In some cases, well-intentioned trainers and group fitness instructors may unknowingly contribute to workouts that place clients at risk.
In this practical and engaging session, Joe Cannon, MS, author of one of the first books on exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis, explains what every fitness professional needs to know about this condition and how to reduce the risk in the clients they work with.
During this presentation you will learn:
· What rhabdomyolysis is and how it develops
· Why every fitness professional should understand rhabdo
· How to recognize the early warning signs and symptoms
· Risk factors many trainers and coaches overlook
· Red flags that should never be ignored during or after a workout
· Common rhabdo myths and what social media influencers often get wrong
· The role supplements, medications, and nutrition may play in rhabdomyolysis
· How to design exercise programs that reduce risk while still delivering results
