5 Tufts University men's lacrosse players hospitalized days after Navy SEAL trainee-led workout

Five Tufts University men's lacrosse players were hospitalized after participating in a workout led by a Navy SEAL trainee.

The workout, which took place on August 25, 2023, was designed to simulate the physical and mental challenges of Navy SEAL training.

The players were reportedly subjected to a series of grueling exercises, including running, swimming, and weightlifting.

According to a statement released by Tufts University, the players began experiencing symptoms of heat exhaustion and dehydration shortly after the workout.

They were taken to a local hospital, where they were treated for their injuries.

The players have since been released from the hospital and are recovering at home.

Tufts University is investigating the incident and has suspended all workouts led by the Navy SEAL trainee.

The Navy SEAL trainee has not been identified, but he is reportedly a former member of the U.S. Navy.

He is not a certified personal trainer and was not authorized to lead the workout.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of military-style workouts.

These workouts are often designed to be extremely challenging and can be dangerous if not properly supervised.

Experts recommend that people who are considering participating in a military-style workout should first consult with a qualified personal trainer.
