“Particularly high-intensity, collegiate-level circuit training.” Evidently too high for this collegiate level.

Ya but what is that exactly?

Ya but what is that exactly?

I have no clue. I did read this:

A person familiar with the situation told CBS Chicago that players may have suffered from conditions such as lactic acidosis and rhabdomyolysis, the latter of which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said can be caused by "physical exertion or overuse."

Rhabdomyolysis, which can damage the heart and kidneys, occurs when damaged muscle tissue releases proteins and electrolytes into the blood, according to the CDC.

"Usually, you see this sort of stuff in the marathon runners, the soccer players, sort of the endurance athletes," Dr. Christopher Hicks with Northwestern Medicine told CBS Chicago.

Reference: See the movie Miracle and watch the section when Herb Brooks has the team do Herbies till they drop. In high school on the football team we called them running lines. My kid age group called it running ladders.

In high school on the football team we called them running lines.

Our first "mean" coach was Demo, a raspy-throated bar owner. This was in the 4th grade - when we'd irritate him, "Get on the line you jag-off!"

And we did washboards, aka suicides, aka ladders.

RIP Demo.
