Case:
We present the case of a 38-year-old male powerlifter, with a history of anabolic steroid use, who sustained a high-grade acute-on-chronic core muscle injury including both adductor longus and rectus abdominis avulsions while squatting 540 lbs. He underwent core muscle repair with reattachment of the rectus abdominis to the pubis without adductor tendon repair. Postoperatively, the patient reported full return of function and returned to the same level of sport.
Conclusion:
Weightlifting and anabolic steroid use are unusual causes of core muscle injuries. Core muscle repair with reattachment of the rectus abdominis to the pubis provides good results in this setting.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
