Ukuzimisela okuphambeneyo kunokukusa kwi-Olimpiki-kodwa ngokucacileyo, kunokukufumana i-rhabdo. I-Rhabdo-mfutshane kwi-rhabdomyolysis-kuxa umsipha wonakele kangangokuba izihlunu ziqala ukophuka kwaye imixholo yefayibha yemisipha ikhutshelwe egazini. Ngelixa abantu beqhula besithi "bazakubamba" i-rhabdo ngokuzama iCrossFit, eneneni ngumbandela onobuzaza-jonga nje kwiParalympic snowboarder kunye ne-DWTS alum Amy Purdy, obesesibhedlele kwiintsuku ezintlanu ezidlulileyo nerhabdo emva kotsalo olunzima- phezulu ukuzilolonga. (Yabona, iCrossFit ayisiyiyo kuphela yokuzivocavoca enokubangela i-rhabdo.)

Isebenza njani i-rhabdo: ukuwohloka kwezihlunu kukhupha iproteni ebizwa ngokuba yi-myoglobin egazini kwaye ihluzwe ngaphandle komzimba zizintso. I-Myoglobin ihlahlela kwizinto ezinokonakalisa iiseli zezintso zihlala zibangela umonakalo wezintso, ngokutsho kweNational Institutes of Health (NIH).

I-Rhabhedo iyingozi kubantu abaninzi; inokubangela ukusilela kwezintso ngokukhawuleza, kwaye ubuncinci, abantu kufuneka balinde iiveki ezimbalwa okanye inyanga ngaphambi kokuba babuyele kwimisebenzi yesiqhelo. Ngenxa yokuba uPurdy unesifo sezintso, oku kuyayikhathaza ngakumbi.

“Le meko iyoyikisa kakhulu, nceda ubeke ingqalelo kumzimba wakho,” utshilo uPurdy kwiposti ye-Instagram. "Ukuba usebenze kakhulu kwimisipha yakho, ukuba uqaqambile, kwaye unokubona ukudumba nkqu nesixa esincinci njengam, ungathandabuzi ukuya kwi-ER, oko kungasindisa ubomi bakho."

Kwaye eyona nto yoyikisayo kukuba inokwenzeka lula ngokulula kunokuba ucinga: Ukutsala kunye nokunyanzela nzima kakhulu ukugqiba iseti, "uPurdy ubhale kwenye i-Instagram. (Kwaye ayinguye yedwa-umthambo wokutsala uphantse wambulala nalo mfazi.)

Uthe izihlunu zakhe zazibuhlungu, akukho nto iqhelekileyo de wabona ukudumba engalweni. Kuba uPurdy wayenomhlobo esibhedlele onemeko efanayo kunyaka ophelileyo, wazibona iimpawu kwaye wayesazi ukuba kufuneka aye esibhedlele, ngokutsho kwe-Instagram yakhe. Khawulezisa phambili kwiintsuku ezintlanu kwaye uthi wenza ok-kodwa "ngaphaya kokubulela ngobomi [bakhe] nobomi."

I-Rhabdo inokubangelwa ngamanqanaba aphantsi e-phosphate, iinkqubo zotyando olude, ukushisa komzimba okugqithisileyo, ukuxhatshazwa okanye ukulimala kwengozi, kunye ne-hydration enzima, kunye nezizathu ezinxulumene nomsebenzi ezifana nokunyanzeliswa okukhulu kunye nokuphuka kwemisipha ngokubanzi, ngokutsho kwe-NIH. Iimpawu ziquka umbala omnyama kunye nokuncipha kokuchama, ubuthathaka bemisipha, ukuqina, kunye nokuthamba, kunye nokudinwa kunye neentlungu zamalungu.

"Abantu abasemngciphekweni [werhabdo] ngabo abafanelekileyo abangakhange bayenze iCrossFit kwaye bangena becinga ukuba banokuhamba kwangoko kakhulu ngaphambi kokuba imizimba yabo ikwazi ukunyanzela umthamo kunye namandla," njengoNowa Abbot, umqeqeshi kwi-CrossFit South Brooklyn, yasixelela kwi-12 yeeNtsomi ezinkulu kakhulu malunga ne-CrossFit. (Unexhala malunga ne-rhabdo? Sebenzisa ezi ngcebiso ze-physical therapist zokuthintela ukulimala xa uqala inkqubo ephezulu efana ne-CrossFit.)

Ngelixa kubuhlungu ukubona iimbaleki ezimangalisayo ezinje ngePurdy zisihla nayo nayiphi na imeko eyoyikisayo yezempilo, amava akhe sisifundo kuye wonke umntu; nabadlali abaziingcali bangonzakala-okanye babi nangakumbi, into efana ne-rhabdo-ngexesha lokuzilolonga. Phinda emva kwethu: mamela umzimba wakho.
