Rabdomiólise induzida pelo exercício de força: revisão e análise dos principais relatos dos últimos 25 anos

Abstract

This study aimed to assess and verify cases of voluntary eff ort-induced rhabdomyolysis cases, building up associations between them, from reports that bring out the rhabdomyolysis syndrome in response to resistance exercise. A literature review has been made so that scientifi c papers relating that specifi c syndrome to the acute responses to resistance exercise could be accessed. Both national and international papers have been selected to this study through online searches on SciELO and PUBMED databases. Combinations of the keywords rhabdomyolysis, bodybuilding, powerlifting and resistance-training were used in their Portuguese and English forms. Text-books were also used as a complement for the informations and theoric basement. The main fi ndings consisted of clinical case studies and have shown an increasing number of clinical reports in recent decades building resistance training muscular stress associations to the triggering of rhabdomyolysis without building integrated approaches to cases related to the specifi c mechanisms of the manifestation of this syndrome. It was also found that information regarding a possible threshold between exercise-induced muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis are still inconclusive or inexistent
